My dear friend:-
Your note with Mr. Bonney's letter, came duly. What a "Tempest in a teapot" the South has gotten up over the Council's resolutions of respect to the greatest colored man, orator, statesman, philosopher, the world ever saw. They seem to think nothing, but an endorsement of Miscegenation, in these respectful notices. They are charmingly oblivious of the fact that his bleached out complection with that of the black faces of the negros, whom we meet in the streets in the North and South, give evidence that something more than respectful attention was paid by the Anglo-Saxon men of the nation to the colored women.
I have been home a little over two weeks and have but three more before I start for California. Why does not the Republican send you over to San Francisco to write home letters of the wonderful gathering of Pacific Slope women? As you know, Miss Shaw is going with me and henceforth I propose always, wherever I go, to take along with me an orator. I should like also to be able to take along a good newspaper correspondent, such as you are, for instance.
Lovingly yours,
Susan B. Anthony
