Work down this way, then you come a stay with me, & hiss Clarke with Mrs Bloomer a I will assist you in getting up such a lecture as you desire. We will get up a meeting here a dot shat we can to advance the interests of the society. I think that you a hrs. Eallowell a I have as good as right to infuse what we make of the radical principle into the proceedings of the society, as the miserable time serving conservatives have to infuse their principles of policy & expediency. I think that address of Mrs. V. is altogether too small namby— pamby to go forth from any society claiming the reason we as a society do. Let the thing drop. I will address the women of the state as an individual, in due time, but this is be» tween us. I am not astonished at what you.srite me of Mrs. Gould. The church is the great engine of oppression in our day & you will always find church members trnckling & politic. If my address would serve you as a kind of skeleton for a lecture I will send it to you & you can fill out the heads, more fully. I am hoping to hear a good account of Miss Clarke. i have no doubt a little practice will make you an admirable lecturer. I will go to work at once & write you.the best lecture I can. Dress loose, take a great deal of exercise & be particular about your diet & sleep enoug, the body has great effect upon the mind, In your meetings if you are simple a truth loving no sophistry can confound you. Try and get subscribers for the Lily wherever you go, & make hrs. B pay you something for your trouble. I will talk to her about you an agent for the Lily, she needs an agent & you seelyou could easily attend to that in your meetings. I have a book just adapted to your wants a prize essay in temperance going over the whole ground, which I will send you if you tell me where, or keep it until you come. I sent you the report of the temperance anniversary read it clearly & you will see that many are already prepared to carry this question sith the churches. You.sill see in Clarke of Boston Brainerd and of Philadelphia, the idea hinted at. Shell our society lead or follow public sentinent~. ~ I say lead. Have you read Emersons speech to hossuth? read it and note what he says of majorities. I A Good night E.

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.

April 15, 1904 - Dear Bob - Well - how do you get along - acting as book publisher & agent of "Eighty years & more" - I was reading the book last evening - it seems to me your Mother gave an undue proportion of the pages to her life long friend - - But, be that as it may - it is, all we have of her in book form - much - very much of her we have in our memories, but when we throw off this mortal coil - there will be nothing else left - but this book - and the History of woman suffrage - I am so thankful that she stuck to the work of those volumes - they really contain the most of her great speeches -until 1885 - and then Vol. IV contains extracts of all her speeches to 1900 - So the four books are really the record of her public life - and then in my "life & work" - there Is about as much of your mother as of me - and then if Hattie ever materialises the volumes of her letters that she now hopes for - the world will have something of her life - beside tradition -1 do hope she will make a good selection - But I hope she will not put in her Mother's lapses in grammar & rhetoric - which she often made in her hasty letter writing - Mrs. Harper told me she - Harriet "was not going to change a word"- Mrs Harper told her that get to do so - would be a great injustice to her Mother! Hattie wants me to go down to Ithaca next week - I think it will have to be the week after - as tilings now look! I have three middling sized scrap-books pretty nearly filled with clippings of your Mother - but I find I had put a greet many of my clippings(Susan B. Anthony to Bob -2-) about her in my other book - 40 of them - which are in the Congressional Library - I intend these three to go there- when I am through with them! - I have a speech on "Educated Suffrage" partly type written - which I am sure she must have sent to be read at the Washington Convention of 1902 - or else for the Hearing before the Congress Committees - Can you give me any clue to the date of its sending - There were so many foreign women to speak that year - I think her speech might have been crowded out - Can't you tell me about it - She was very strenuous about Educated Suffrage - and I do not find that she had any carefully prepared argument - but this - I shall be in New York a day or two before sailing on May 19th - I shall be very glad to receive a call from you - Affectionately - Susan B. Anthony P. S. I shall be at my Cousin's - Mrs. S. N. Lephams, No 10 - East 68th Street - New York - Isn't this Introduction pretty nearly as well written as your Mother's Introduction - in the 1st volume - written when she was 70 years "young" - that makes me think of George Francis Train - he always told of 70 - or "80 years young - Poor fellow, he is gone over the big river.

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, 2008 AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY BUILDING, N. Y. OFFICE OF HONORARY PRESIDENT, ROCHESTER, N. Y. Dear Nora:- I send you a package of literature of which I wish to give you a little history. I-—The first convention ever called by women to discuss the status of woman, industrial, educational, civil and political in 1848. The first demand for the franchise ever made. Three years before I had even seen your Grandmother. I had heard much of her from the convention at Rochester to which place on August 2nd. the Seneca Falls convention adjourned. Lucretia Mott was to speak at the 1st. of August celebration in that city, so the friends, Amy Post and Sarah D. Fish, decided to avail themselves of Mrs. Mott's presence to hold a meeting in Rochester. I was then teaching school at Canajoharie, Montgomery County, and in the middle of August, with my cousin Margaret Read Caldwell and her husband, I made a visit to my mother's and father's home, three miles west of the city, and there I heard from my parents and my sister Mary, who still lives, the most glowing account of the meeting, of Mrs. Stanton with her black curls and ruddy cheeks, and of Mrs. Mott with her Quaker cap and her crossed handkerchief of the finest muslin, both speaking so grandly and looking so magnificent. Then I returned to my school and heard no more until I was down to Mr. Garrison's and George Thompson's meeting at Seneca Falls in the Spring in 1851 when I just saw your "Queen Mother" in the street. In January 1852 I read a letter from Mrs. Stanton at the Albany Temperance meeting, and in April of that year we held a State Woman's temperance convention in Rochester where Rev. Wm. Henry Charming presided, and she was elected president of the Nora. (2) State Society, and made a splendid speech on Temperance, demanding the right of divorce for drunkeness. During the next three years I visited Seneca Falls quite often. II -— In 1854 she made her first speech "before the New York-Legislature. I went to her house and stayed with the children, (Your Aunt Maggie mast have been the baby, for your mother was not yet born.) While she went to Rochester to Mr. William and Mary Post-Halloway's, and there she read her speech before the Rev. Wm. Henry Channing who was then preaching in Rochester. (Afterwards you know he lived in London, and married your Father and Mother). He pronounced her speech fine, but added that it lacked legal reference. Then she went back home, hunted up the laws and added them. In February she went to Albany, made her speech before the Convention and before the Legislature and I had 20,000 printed, and laid a copy on every members desk, and circulated the rest throughout the State in my campaigns of that year and 1855. III—The speech of the silver tongued orator, Wendell Phillips. You can find no better than that, made by any one today. IV—-The speech of Geo. Wm. Curtis given in the Constitutional Convention of 18671 It is a splendid argument and covers the whole ground. (I have the speech your Grandmother made before the convention and over the State prior to the convention, but I cannot let you have it, because I have only one copy of it.) Mr. Curtis was a handsome, elegant man. He was a grand and good champion of our cause in the early days. V—The duties of women, by Francis Power Cobb. You know she is an English woman, and a splendid one. VI—The speech of Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, sister of Henry Ward Beecher . She gives a little account of my trial for voting in 1872. VII—-The speech and hearings given by your grandmother 1869 to until 1891, I have not duplicates of, so don't send them. VIII—-In 1891 she made her speech "The Matriarchrate" to the NationalNora, (3) Woman's Council, and "The degradation of disfranchisement" to our National Convention, IX—In 1892 she made the greatest speech of her life, I think, before the House Judiciary Committee of Congress, entitled, "The solitude of self." It will be nice for you to read extracts from that at any time. X—The hearing of 1894 containing an excellent report of Wyoming, by Mrs. Clara B. Colby. XI—-1896, The Senate Judiciary hearings. Your Grandmother was in Europe at that time. XII—-1898, hearings before both Houses. That of the House contains reports of every form of suffrage,-school, municipal, and full suffrage. It was called the "Practical workings of Suffrage", and the Senate contains various speeches and quotations called "The Philosophy of the movement." XIII—-In the hearing of 1900 an effort was made to present the same, the philosophy and the workings, and here the anti-suffrage women piped in their little say. I think they said their best, and all there was to be said against suffrage. XIV—-In 1902 contains the hearing which consisted of foreign women telling of the status of women in their own countries. XV—-Wm. Henry Charming's review of Volume I of the History of Woman Suffrage, in which you will see his estimate of your Queen Mother and the cause, in the year 1882 I think. XVI—-The status of Woman by S.-B.-A. That shows all the gains up to the time it was written, but there have been many since 1897I XVII-—A summary from the favorable congressional reports. XVIII--Two copies of the reports of the Constitutional convention held in New York in 1894. There are many able speeches in it beginning with Dr. Mary Putnam Jacoby and ending Mr. Lauterbach. I think this will do for the first installment of reading matter for the members of your club. Nora, (4) I have more of Mr. Curtis' speech, and if I have not sent enough to give each of your members a copy, you let me know and I will forward more. Of course all these things which I have told you are in the History of Woman Suffrage, or will be when you get Volume IV sodded to the other three huge_ volumes, and then you want the life and work of Susan B. Anthony added, because it gives a great deal more in detail the story of very many of the occurences that have happened all along. With love, I am, Affectionately yours, Susan B.

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 Alma Lutz Collection Copy Chair.
