Item description from seller

He refers to a letter he is forwarding (not present) from "one of our active members . [forwarding it] as duty bound to the Editor. It seems a proper contribution on one of our open questions. | I wish a larger proportion of our leading names appeared among the contributors to the 'Reformer'. | Ther are many men who never write unless they are asked . and some who will only write if they are told that a contribution on some particular subject will be acceptable from them. . if I might suggest your applying a gentle editorial pressure upon them. I fancy too by what I hear from various quarters that a larger proportion of lively articles are desiderated. | I have begun something upon 'poor letter H.'".
