Kendall’s Collection of Letters

by: John Kendall

Kendall’s Collection of Letters is a compilation of letters composed by various members of the Society of Friends over the course of several decades. A few of the letters may have been addressed to John Kendall himself, but the great majority were written to other recipients, and were later collected and published by Kendall in 1802, after the decease of their authors. Two lengthy sections of this publication are taken exclusively from the letters of that truly wise and devoted man, Richard Shackleton. But there are letters from many other eminent Friends as well, including Catherine Payton, Samuel Fothergill, Sophia Hume, Tabitha Ecroyd, Mary Peisley, John Woolman, and many more.
