My Dear Mrs. Gray
In returning from New York tonight, I mat dear Mrs. Taylor of Wyandotte, who told me you now lived in that City -I gave her my wish that the women of Kansas should now make a testimonial to dear Mrs. C. I. H. Nichols - in this wise - Make up a purse of $150. to pay for a steel engraving (& 2000 copies of it for our first edition) - of Mrs. Nichols

to go into our history of Woman Suffrage - - Mrs. N. is not able to pay for the plate & 2000 copies herself - and the sum given me to print the history, is not large enough to do more than pay the bare printing - So that the persons whose pictures are put into our history will have to pay the cost thereof - If you can't raise the §150 - get as near to it as you can - for I want Mrs. Nichols sweet face to go down to posterity in our book together with that of dear Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Rose - & the rest of the early workers

I hope you have taken the "National Citizen & Ballot Box, published by Mrs. M. Joslyn Gage Syracuse, N.Y. * price $1 a year - and read all of Mrs. Nichols reminiscences of Kansas - If none of you take it - don't fail to send on your dollar, at once - so you can see from time to time how we get on with the history.
And wont you good friends of Mrs. Nichols & of our cause, put on your thinking caps and recall every funny incident you can,

and write everything down and send to me - to help us in history.
I met Gov. Crawford in New York, and he thought Gen. Adams of the State Historical Society would see that money was raised for the engraving of Mrs. Nichols - And I should think Gov. Robinson would contribute - Will you look over the ground & tell me what can be done - - I am spending the winter with Mrs. Stanton, working on our history, which is now in progress - Mrs. S. Is correcting proof this evening - Thus you will

see that I want to know immediately what you women of Kansas & men too - will do to help us to have Mrs. Nichols picture in it -
I sent ever so much love by Mrs. Taylor to you and to Dr. & Mrs. Root - & to the Judge & to "bairns" -
Sincerely yours
Susan B. Anthony
