James Harrison, Judge Thomas Wild,, James Harrison

Pemberton Correspondence

Written from Worcester Jail to a local judge, this letter details the some of the persecution that Quakers faced, such having goods and property seized from them. Another form of persecution mentioned is frequent imprisonment: for actively engaging in the practice of the faith, or randomly on suspicion of being a Quaker and being associated with the sect and its members. Money was sometimes demanded for the return of the items if return was offered at all, and was also demanded as payment of bail to release imprisoned Friends.
