Dear Mr. Garrison
Enclosed is a hastily written word for the Liberator, if you think it worthy & have room for it - I went to Hudson a week ago to see and hear Mr. Phillips and the result was that no letter of Dr. Cheever went to Boston as promised -
We could discover evidence of Burleighs & Phillips speeches having done a good work with our members -
I have written Greely & asked him if he would not publish the petition & tell the readers of the Tribune of the fact that their noises should be heard at the Capitol -
I read your powerful speech, aloud to Lydia on Sunday evening -
I shall leave Albany Thursday

morning - intend to be in Rochester by Saturday - We do so need Men, Women and Money here at this Political Centre - A truly great work might be done here every year for the cause, in a quiet way - - We must have some working centre here in New York - Gerit Smith says he has been giving time & money, in a quiet way - & so have others, but the trouble is it is so very quiet, no body knows or feels it - We have the Material to be worked up into genuine anti Slavery - We lack only the faithful, earnest home workers -
Love to Mrs. Garrison & the dear children all - I see you & Parker Pillsbury advertised every Sunday - remember these spring months are most trying to health - and don't over do -
S. B. Anthony

Dear Mr. Garrison
Enclosed is a hastily written word for the Liberator if you think it worthy & have room for it- - I went to Hudson a week ago to see and hear Mr. Phillips and the result was that no letter of Dr. Cheever went to Boston as promised-
We could discover evidences of Burleighs & Phillips speeches having done a good work with our members-
I have written Greely & asked him if he would not publish the petition & tell the readers of the Tribune of the fact that their voices should be heard at the Capitol- I read your powerful speech, aloud to Lydia on Sunday evening.
I shall leave Albany Thursday morning- intend to be in Rochester by Saturday- We do so need Men, Women and Money here at this Political Centre- A truly great work might be done here every year for the cause in a quiet way-- we must have some working centre here in New York- Gerit Smith says he has been giving time & money, in a quiet way- & so have others, but the trouble is it is so very quiet, no body knows or feels it- We have the Material to be worked up into genuine anti Slavery- We lack only the faithful, earnest home workers-
Love to Mrs. Garrison & the dear children all- I see you & Parker Pillsbury advertised every Sunday remember those spring months are most trying to health - and don't overdo
S. B. Anthony
