Mrs. Lockwood thinks The National Hotel - is the best place - on the whole-
I wish we could all be at The Riggs - together - but only Mrs. Stanton & self are invited as guests - and their very lowest - for two or four in a room is $3. a day - while The National is not half of that I think - only $1. a day last year.

Sincerely yours
Susan B. Anthony
