Epistle from the New-York Yearly Meeting of Women Friends to its Subordinate Meetings 1843 an internal Quaker communication documenting women's participation in the organizational and religious life of the Society of Friends during the antebellum period. Separate women's monthly quarterly and yearly meetings had developed within the Society of Friends as formal settings in which women conducted religious business and New York Yearly Meeting describes these meetings as an important means of women's social education as well as collective religious discernment. Addressed specifically to subordinate meetings the epistle provides primary-source evidence of the communication structure connecting women Friends across different levels of Quaker organization demonstrating how a yearly gathering transmitted counsel and religious guidance to constituent bodies. New-York Yearly Meeting of Women Friends. Epistle from the New-York Yearly Meeting of Women Friends to its Subordinate Meetings. New York: Press of M. Day & Co. 1843. Size and pagination not supplied. The pamphlet belongs to a longstanding Quaker practice of issuing epistles as communications from yearly meetings to other Friends; New York Yearly Meeting continues to identify epistles among the formal documents generated by its sessions. Its explicit address to "Subordinate Meetings" is particularly significant as evidence of the organizational relationship between the women's yearly meeting and smaller constituent meetings showing the mechanisms through which religious counsel circulated within a female-led institutional framework. The pamphlet predates the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and survives from a period in which Quaker women already possessed established spaces for collective deliberation and administrative responsibility within their religious community. New York Yearly Meeting traces the tradition of separate women's business meetings to the seventeenth century noting that women prepared instructions for conducting meetings and participated in substantive community governance. The 1843 epistle thus supports research into antebellum women's religious leadership Quaker organizational history female associational culture and the circulation of institutional communications among nineteenth-century American women. No specific defects are supplied; overall very good. A focused primary source documenting the formal channels through which Quaker women maintained religious and organizational relationships among meetings in antebellum New York. unknown books

Cold Spring Huntington New York May 1845. 5 ff. 12-1/2" x 7-1/2" 31.7 x 19 cm sheets fastened together at heads with wax seals content to rectos and versos two contemporary newspaper clippings about the case affixed to recto of final leaf which is docketed on verso. Moderate toning three horizontal fold lines 16 marks and brief annotions to margins in pencil. A well-preserved piece of Long Island legal history. $750. This rare manuscript provides a firsthand account of the 1845 murder trial of Jacamiah Tillett a man driven to violence by a dark obsession with his neighbor's wife. The documents contain detailed cross-examinations of key witnesses including the victim's widow Elizabeth Covert. At the time of the trial Elizabeth was described as a woman of roughly twenty years who had been married only a short time. Local accounts suggest a scandalous history; she was reportedly "very intimate" with Tillett prior to her marriage a connection that fueled Tillett's lethal infatuation. According to the witness statements and contemporary newspaper clippings. Tillett was deeply infatuated with Elizabeth frequently attempting to force his affections upon her. On at least one occasion Tillett allegedly suggested that Elizabeth poison her husband and flee with him. These specific notes-penned with the clinical precision of a legal mind-are attributed to William Platt Buffett 1793-1874. Buffett was a preeminent Suffolk County attorney and future county judge suggesting these documents served as his personal trial notes for the defense. This collection offers a raw unfiltered look at 19th-century jurisprudence and social scandal. It captures the tension between the "respectability" of Victorian-era marriage and the violent realities of domestic obsession in rural New York. unknown books
