DescriptionWomen's Meeting:
Volume containing Epistles and answers to queries, 1844-1867.

Answers to queries concentrate on attendance at worship, size of the congregations, religious education of children and servants, discipline, marriage, care of those less fortunate and the overall 'godliness' of the community. Epistles are formulaic, opening with a religious address to the congregation and a report on the condition of the communities in the more isolated parts of America.
