Abstract

In the Driftway
October 21, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

From a friend of a friend of his the Drifter has received a communication which he is pleased to put before his readers. He does not vouch for the authenticity of this letter, although it was given -to him in good faith with the added information that it was written just a hundred years ago. But the sentiments are unexceptionable. Obviously, if the members of the Quaker persuasion had adhered strictly to this point of view, and had, moreover, been permitted to rule the country, there is reason to doubt that the present troubles would be upon the people of the U.S.
