I am very sorry that Mrs Blatch cannot aoceot as I am very proud of her & should like to have all our Boston friends see & hear her. But she sails en on Wednesday. As to myself the word “go” has lost all charm for me. I have arrived at that time of life when a good novel a rocking chair, my own bed & other personal comforts in an apartment house with no stairs to climb are all so necessary to my happiness that I cannot be temp~ ted to new fields of labor, except those my pen can reach. You see the great uorising in this state. Mrs Blatoh has spoken twice a day ever since she landed. The very day she landed she went straight from the ship to a parlor meeting to fill one of my engagements. You.should be here to help us. Could you give July August September a October or any part of these months & make one grand campaign through all the counties of this state? I hope yourfefinm\will a grand success as it always is. with kind regards for Mr Livermore & yourself Yours as ever Elizabeth Gady Stanton

July 7th (1892) Dear Friend, Your kind letter reaohed me here & was very welcome; A Having been suhject to much adverse criticism, a few words of praise occasionally are very grateful to the most self ~ sustained reformer. I have always said that the heyday of woman's life is on the shady side of fifty & I know my best speeches have been written since that time. Soil accept your oompliments ash quite sincere. I particularly enjoy your appreciation of my daughter's paper on "Voluntary Motherhood." She prepared it for the Westminster Review but John Chapman the editor, would not accept it unless she dropped out the paragraph on men's lack of the paternal element. That she would not do, so we published it our~ selves. I wish you would call attention to it in the Woman's Journal. I think it a very valuable paper. Some time when you are in New York come & see me & talk over the situation 26.West 61st. Shall return the middle of September. I am here only for the SnHb8Pa ae are in Cousin Gerrit Smith‘s old mansion, just as he left it. Here I spent many of my youthful days, here I first met art Stanton & we rode on horseback together overall these hills. The place is very dear to me for all these old memories of the past. But the familiar faces are all gone & the old walls echo to the voices of A a Y0unger generation. With kind regards for Mr. Liyermore & Your- self 1 Cordially ever Elizabeth Cady Stanton (To Mary Livermore)
