Wilmington Friends is the carried — the 'Black pallbearers' that's the '71 honored, the 'meeting ground' that's the grave kept. The '2,700 poor' is the counted — the 'God's Poor' that's the Garrett's phrase, the 'stationmaster' that's the meeting's son. The 'sold goods' is the returned — the 'fine paid' that's the '48 cost, the 'members bought back' that's the faith's answer.
The '1738' is the old — the 'first house' that's the meeting built, the 'school converted' that's the state's oldest. The 'Hicksite split' is the divided — the '1828' that's the orthodox left, the 'rejoined '42' that's the century healed. Wilmington Friends is the centered — the 'Dickinson rests' that's the Penman buried, the 'Garrett beside' that's the stationmaster's ground.
The file keeps Wilmington Friends: the carried coffin, the returned goods, the split healed, and the stationmaster's grave.
Wilmington Friends is the archive's Delaware file — the meeting that buried its stationmaster.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Wilmington Friends is the archive's Delaware file — where Black mourners carried Garrett home.
A meetinghouse keeps its conscience — the file's suggestion being that Wilmington's hold is the embodied: the 'goods bought back' that's the fine answered, the 'pallbearers' that's the gratitude shown, and the 'school oldest' that's the education kept.
