While we aid, to the extent of our power, the fugitive from injustice and oppression, let us not yield to solicitations for money to purchase his freedom from his claimants; thus acknowledging a right of property in man, and giving an indirect support to slavery. Rather let our main and most vigorous exertions be directed to the overthrow of the outrageous system of American Slavery."--P.177-178., Waist-length portrait of Mott, seated in a chair, wearing a bonnet and shawl., Another portrait appears in: American phrenological journal, v. 17 (Apr., 1853), p. 76.

By this time the earnings of Elleanor had amounted to a sum sufficient to purchase a lot and build a small house, which she rented for forty dollars a year."--P.63., Waist-length portrait of Eldridge, holding a broom.
