(Copy of letter from Susan B. Anthony to E. C. S.)
Rochester, Feb. 27, 1862.
Dear Mrs. Stanton
Well, here I am at home, without a call at Auburn or Seneca Falls -
When I got to Albany last Friday - I found letter from Phillips, wishing me to arrange a lecture for him here on Wednesday next - There was no time to be lost - I spent Saturday writing letters to all the neighboring County Weekly Papers -
Last night I got letter, asking me to arrange lecture here for Dr. Cheever the 18 or 19 March - he, the Dr. is going to address the Military Committee of our Legislature - March 20th - and we hope to get a Second hearing & Gerritt Smith to address them - on the duty of Emancipation -
I got your letter & Valentine - I reckon Gatt must have perpetrated the latter - we all laughed over it -
Do you see, the Tribune calls on all lovers of order & decency to roll up their names to Petitions against the Divorce Bill - and a friend writes there is an amendment of the New Married Women's property bill before the Legislature - Do you keep watch of the State, as well as the National Legislature - & keep them strait -
Think of Gen. Grant returning those 13 slaves to their Masters - such gratuitous outrage should be met with instant death - without judge or jury - if any offense may -
But the action of the House, & the talk of the Senate, looks a little hopeful - it was in Wednesdays Tribune -

(Susan B. Anthony to E. C. S. Feb. 27, 1862 -2-)
I had two meetings in Western Massachusetts - capital ones - got my speech finished up pretty good - - Did you read Fred Douglas Cooper Institute speech - it is a grand thing -
Do you see Garrison has not published Parkers Albany speech, nor nothing but your letter - that shows where you stand with him - May be, he will give more this week -
Oh, there are always so many things to talk over - pen & paper are no go -
I enclose Petition put your own name to it, & get a few more and send it to Albany without delay - to help agitate -
I hope to give you a few days yet this Spring - for you to slip out & breathe the soft air of Peterboro -
Lydia has taken a nice house - for about six boarders - two nice rooms- parlors with bedrooms - & two single rooms - It is a good deal of a risk - but I hope she will get two good peoples -
You will see Mr. Greens speech in this weeks Standard I expect - I thought it very fine -
Brother Merritt gone to Leavenworth - alone - his wife still in New York -
Truly & Affectionately
S. B. Anthony
