Mary Garrigues Journal
This journal was created by Mary Garrigues, who described her experiences at Quaker Meetings in the Mid Atlantic, her travels to those Meetings, and her preaching against slavery. She also copied a portion of a 1759 manuscript by English Quaker Christopher Wilson.
On the first leaf of this volume, Garrigues copied out a portion of a manuscript written by Quaker Christopher Wilson in 1759. Wilson wrote that although he had been born with ample resources, he had been “by little & little drawn into trading to foreign Parts and the Lord hath (I’ve seen) blasted my Endeavours.” Wilson warned other Quakers not to follow his missteps. It appears that Garrigues copied a longer portion of this manuscript, but the next leaf has been torn out.
