Anthony to ELizabeth Cady Stanton) Rochester May 26/56 Dear Mrs. Stanton: Taking It for granted that you are at home once more, I'll say a word to you by way of "exhortation and prayer". I ought to be more pious than formerly, since I travelled all the way from Seneca Falls to Schenectady in company with President Finney & Lady - & heard Garison Parker & all of us Woman's Rights actors duly denounced as "Infidels". I told him our cause was Infidel to the popular Theology & popular interpretation of the Bible - Mrs. Finney took me to another seat & with much earnestness enquired all about, what we were doing & the growth of our Movement - said she you have the sympathy of a large proportion of the educated women with you - In my circle I hear the Movement much talked of & earnest hopes for its spread expressed - but these women dare not speak out their sympathy - What a shame that you don't live where I can run in & tell you all I know in five minutes & be back to my work again - I saw Lucy and almost made her promise to call on you - she has left Cincinnati for all - was going to look at Orange, Chapaqua & other places in the vicinity of N. Y. for a home & if not suited, going to Wiscon to look - but I can't bear to have her & Nette settle in the far West - they ought to be at the Centre of Civilization - The Anniversary Meeting was good - though the weather was very rainy - I attended the Anniversary of the "American Woman's Educational Association" headed by Catharine E. Beecher - it was at(Susan B. Anthony to Elizabeth Cady Stanton -2-) Prof. Webster's (?) 14 Lexington Avenue - some parts of the secretary's report were very fine - I said to Mrs. W. I would rather see the weight of your influence exerted to open the doors of the existing colleges to Woman - far greater good would be done for woman by such work, than by the establishment of separate Colleges, said she that is my mind exactly - isn't it strange that such women as those, Miss Barrker, Mrs. Kirkland Mrs. Stevens, S. G. Hall &c, are so stupid, Yet so false as to work for any thing secondary - any thing other than their highest conviction - but of those women are all bound by the fashionable Church & dare not take sides with the unpopular - Mrs. W. said she knew one of our leaders very well, Mrs. Stanton of Seneca Falls. I am now just done with house fixing and ready to commence operations on that Report.- Don't you think it would be a good plan to first state what we mean by educating the sexes together - then go on to show how the few institutions that profess to give equal education fail in the Physical, Moral & Intellectual departments & lastly that it is folly to talk of giving to the sexes, equal advantages, while you withhold from them equal Motive to improve those advantages - Do you please mark out a plan & give me as soon as you can - Oh, that I had the requisite power to do credit to Womanhood in this emergency - why is nature so sparing of her gifts - When will you come to Rochester to spend those days, I shall be most happy to see whenever it shall be - only let me know a few days before - that I may be as much at leisure as may be - Amelia & the two babies of course & as many more as convenient - With Love Susan B.

Should you shrink from the post Miss Anthony has just been telling how, in Albany, you induced your friend Gerritt Smith to make an excellent speech in an Anti Slavery meeting by urgent solicitations, which he even called "scolding". It would not be pleasant to try the same process with you, it will be needless probably;- but we are prepared for such an emergency.

Dear Mrs. Stanton I learn through Stephen Foster and Lydia Mott of your Invitations to attend political Anti-Slavery Conventions is Cleveland and Worcester - I would be delighted to (?) Women attend, and speak and act with them - but of course it can be only these who really feel that it is best for men, even, at this moment, to stop to organize the mere handful of voters, who would cast their ballots for principle - and not for what they deemed the"least of the two evils", one of which the nation must surely have in the presidential chair - You see Stephen is but repeating the Liberty Party Experiment - Men who cannot or will not hear their testimony against the two great Political Parties, by non voting, can not & will not by voting for a man for principles sake whoso election is not possible. It requires precisely the same material to make a true Political abolitionist that it does to make a Non voting Disunion Abolitionist - the only difference is the mode of expressing opposition to the prevailing pro Slavery action. Antoinette Brown is the only woman who could go into Foster's Movement with right good Will - for she is a politician in philosophy - while you and I & others are agitators to make public sentiment - So it seems to me - But if you feel right for the work go ahead - Stephen wants you to read an address on the true government at one of their evening sessions, & to act on their business Committee - Parker Pillsbury, in the Money Committee, when Stephen asked an appropriation to pay your expenses to his Convention - Said,(Susan B. Anthony to E. C. S. Aug. 25, 1860. -2-) "I have great faith in Mrs. Stanton, & would vote her expenses to any place where there was an audience for to address, no matter by whom or for what called together - sure that her word would be true & grand anywhere -" Why don't you go to the Liberty Party Convention at Syracuse - Stephen expects to be there, to try & get Goodell & Gerritt Smith & all to join him - they make nominations & the Worcester Convention endorse their Nominees - I wish Henry would go & report to the Tribune & the World, without scandal prejudice or irony - just what they propose & do - I hope they may unite - Stepehen thinks Frederic Douglas will unite with him - I hope he will - for he stands so isolated alone now - If you go to Syracuse, you'll get an idea of what Stephen's plan is & can then decide whether you had better go to Worcester. If you see your way clear to help both Woman & the Negro, or only the Negro - then go by all means - Write me at Albany, Care Lydia Mott - We got the Money voted for our Albany Depository. Love to All - S. B. Anthony.

Powell Dear Sir Yours of the 5th inst has been neglected too long- I enclose a slip from the Laramie Sentinel- whose Editor John Heyford- has lived in Wyoming from the first- There are nor mere- no reasons for Women Suffrage in that Territory- not equally good & urgent in this state & entire nation- The true position is Suffrage a National right - guaranteed to the U. S. citizen by the Constitution as a U. S. citizen's right, not to be denied by any state, or Territory, except for crime, idiocy, lunacy or infancy- Because of my United States citizenship I am entitled to a voice in the government of the nation, the state, the county, the town & the city in which I chance to reside- We citizens right to vote as well his right to vote as well as his right to freedom must be guaranteed by the National Constitution - and I hope you will see this point & thus urge it in your debates- - and when you shall see a form of petition to Congress for a 16th Amendment I hope you will circulate it and collect a great many names- Respectfully yours Susan B. Anthony

I shall be very happy to accept your invitation for any day, except Saturday,- I have never met your husband, I believe, though his paper had done many a kind service to our good cause of Equal Rights for women, and I shall therefore be glad to know him personally, as well as his wife! But let me disabuse your mind of the idea that Mrs. Spofford took me to call on you for other that Social purpose- Long before I received Mrs. Hooker's letter telling me she was to visit you In February- Mrs. Spofford had several times said to me- " I received Mrs. Hutchin's wedding cards when I was in the country- and I must call on her very soon"- Therefore it was Mrs Spofford's Social call on the bride- and as a compliment I was permitted to accompany her- But the fact is- that I have for a whole life time so worked for woman's enfranchisement that no one can see or hear of my going or coming but they at once know women suffrage must be the main spring. And really- it is- for I neither see nor hear but with a thought of the great end I so long to attain. Therefore instead of displeasing me to be thus suspected- it rather proves to me that I have not worked in vain- Since my very name has become the synonym, of "Perfect equality of rights for women, Civil and Political- Thanking you for your great kindness- I am Very sincerely yours Susan B Anthony
