Well Mr. May,I am really at my own Farm Home, all nestled down in a blessed quiet - And as I live open the experiences of the past six months, I can but acknowledge to myself - that Anti Slavery has made me richer & braver in spirit - & that it is the school of schools for the full & true development of the nobler elements of life -
I find my Raspberry field looking finely - also my strawberry bed - The prospect for Peaches, cherries, plums apples & pears is very promising -
Indeed all nature is clothed in her most hopeful dress -
It really seems to me that the trees

and the grass & the large fields of waving grain did never look so beautifully as now - It is more probable, however, that my soul has grown to appreciate Nature more fully, than that she has taken to herself new charms-
I have just received a note from Lucy Stone, relative to the place of holding our next Woman's Rights Con. She names Worcester, Providence & Newark -
It seems to me Boston is a better place than either of those - My mind, as to that National Con. is to turn it over to Anniversary Week, in N. York - & just have one day - Merely to hear our testimony on the question - When you write, please say what is your judgement as to place for this Fall -
Yours Truly
Susan B. Anthony

Well Mr. May, I am really at my own Farm Home, all nestled down in a blessed quiet- And as I live over the experiences of the past six months, 1 can but acknowledge to myself-that Anti Slavery has made me richer & braver in spirit -& that it is the school of schools for the full & true developement of the nobler elements of life-
I find my Raspberry field looking finely- also my strawberry bed- The prospect for Peaches, cherries, plums apples & pears is very promising-
Indeed all nature is clothed in her most hopeful dress-
It really seems to me the trees and the grass & the large fields of waving grain did never look so beautifully as now- It is more probable however, that my soul has grown to appreciate Nature more fully, than that she has taken to herself new charms-
1 have just received a note from Lucy Stone, relative to place of holding our next Woman?s Rights Con., She names Worcester, Providence & Newark-
It seems to me Boston is a better place than either
of those- My mind, as to that National Con, is to turn over to Anniversary Week, in N. York - & just have one day - merely to hear our testimony on the question- When you write, please say what is your judgement as to place for this Pall-
that

Yours truly
