Reading edition
[1235] Records of the Friends’ Yearly Meeting of Pennsylvania and the Jersies, p. 211; Michener, A Retrospect of Early Quakerism, etc., pp. 260, 341. According to custom the action of the Yearly Meeting was at once made known to the various Quarterly Meetings within its jurisdiction by extracts from its minutes. Such extracts recorded in the minutes of the various Quarterly Meetings for the year 1719 contain exactly the same expression: “And to avoid giving them occasion of discontent, it is desired that Friends do not buy or sell Indian slaves.”
