Excerpt from Extracts From the Minutes of the Yearly Meeting of Friends Held in Philadelphia: By Adjournments From the Thirteenth Day of Fifth Month, to the Seventeenth of the Same, Inclusive, 1878 At the Yearly Meeting of Friends, held in Philadelphia, by adjournments from the 13th day of the Fifth Month, to the 17th of the same, inclusive, 1878. Reports from all our constituent branches were produced, from which it appears that one hundred and thirty-nine Friends have been appointed representatives to attend the service of this meeting, who, on being called, were present except fourteen. For the absence of eight of them sufficient reasons were assigned, but for the absence of the others no information was received. Minutes of Friends in attendance with us from other Yearly Meetings were produced and read, as follows: For Samuel M. Janney, a Minister, from Goose Creek Monthly Meeting, (a branch of Baltimore Yearly Meeting, ) held the 11th of 4th month last. For John Needles, a Minister, from Baltimore Monthly Meeting, held the 9th of this month. Epistles from our brethren of the Yearly Meetings of New York, Baltimore, Ohio, Indiana, Genesee, and Illinois, were received and read.
