Mary (Morris) Knowles (1733-1807) was an English Quaker poet, abolitionist, and feminist. As a young woman, before she married and gained fame and wealth from her art, Mary Morris conducted a poetic exchange about water baptism with an Anglican clergyman, rumored to be her suitor. The exchange was printed several times, chiefly in the 1770s. This printing appears to be unrecorded. (Inventory #: 15734)
