Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Mrs. Phoebe Palmer Twenty-Three years ago, I first formed the acquaintance of the beloved and lamented Mrs. Pl be Palmer. She was then in the vigor of health, and was but fully commencing that remarkable career, in which she became so distinguished. I was appointed to preside over the session of the New York East Conference, which met in Allen Street, in 1853. Dr. and Mrs. Palmer sent me a cordial invitation to make their home my home, and it gave me great pleasure to accept. The session was unusually protracted by some investigations, which at that time were conducted in open conference, and it did not close until the early part of the second week. I thus enjoyed many opportunities for solid conversation, as well as for noting the spirit and manner of thought and life of our departed friend. The acquaintance thus formed, was renewed subsequently, by visits from time to time, and continued until her ascension to a higher world.
