At a Hicksite Friends yearly meeting in New York, speaker Rachel Rogers urged adherence to nonresistance though she warned a time might come to waive it as Peter did when he smote the ear of Malchus. The remark caused a notable sensation amid wartime tensions. A separate report notes a southern woman fleeing Philadelphia via Harper's Ferry with a dozen revolvers hidden in her crinoline and mentions arms supplies to the army. A third item quips on widowhood and the social expectations of women.
