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.

Anthony Enclosure: Poem (printed), "Love's Rosary", by Lydia Avery Coonley Ward.SUSAN B. ANTHONY February 15, 1820 February 15, 1900 Love's Rosary Come, let us tell upon Love's rosary With years for beads,—eight decades in the chain,— The record of a life's true history, Its joy and grief, its pleasure and its pain. Within the first decade a little child Love-welcomed, lived within a happy home ; And from a well of home joy undefiled, Wise lessons drew for all the years to come. She learned to love the quiet Quaker gray ; She learned the sweet inflections that belong To Quaker speech ; the "Thee" and "Thou" they say; The gentle conscience that can do no wrong. The second decade saw her at the post Of duty, teaching, that she might relieve Her father's burden. Since then what a host Have learned of her to think first, then believe. 'Twas then she saw her father's noble way Of setting principles above mere gain : No liquor would he sell; no taxes pay To government that justified war's stain. With these great lessons she learned humbler ones; The sweet home duties that the home endears ; To cook, to sew, to weave the thread that runs Home joys throughout the fabric of the years. Within the third decade the world's great need Knocked loud upon the door of her great heart; She yearned toward the oppressed ; no race or creed But in that wealth of sympathy had part.How kindly have the years all dealt with her ! She proves that Bible promises are true ; She waited on the Lord without demur, And He failed not her courage to renew. Oft on the wings of eagles she uprose; On mercy's errands have her glad feet run ; And yet no sign of weariness she shows; She does not faint, but works from sun to sun. Deep in her eyes burn fires of purpose strong ; Her hand upholds the scepter of God's truth; Her lips send forth brave words against the wrong ; Glows in her heart the joy of deathless youth. Kindly and gentle ; learned too, and wise ; Lover of home and all the ties of kin ; Gay comrade of the laughing lips and eyes; Give us new words to sing your praises in !. Yet let us rather now forget to praise, Remembering only this true friend to greet, As drawing near by straight and devious ways, We lay our hearts—Love's guerdon—at her feet. Blow, O ye winds, across the oceans blow! Go to the hills and prairies of the West! Haste to the tropics,—search the fields of snow;— Let the world's gift to her become your quest! Shine, sun, through prism of the waterfall, And build us here a rainbow arch to span The years, and hold the citadel Of her abiding work for God and man. What is the gift, O winds, that ye have brought ? O sun, what legend shines your arch above? Ah ! they are one ! and all things else are naught! Take them, beloved—they are love, love, love ! Lydia Avery Coonley WardThe fourth decade : she entered public life; She heard above all else the cry of slaves : "Come, break our chains!" No sound of drum or fife Could drown that cry, re-echoed from their graves. "No compromise!" her daring voice proclaimed, "Emancipation unconditional—NOW !" Fearless she faced great mobs,—jeered at, defamed ; Yet gentle peace was ever on her brow. This same decade bestowed the best of gifts- Comrades and friends like those the bards have sung; Pure, noble, filled with passion such as lifts The worker, and impels the pen and tongue. Lucretia Mott great leader of the band ; Of Quaker birth,—a preacher, heaven inspired; Gentle yet strong, and fitted to command; Radiant in beauty, and with ardor fired. Stanton came next, with brilliant, noble face, And splendid gift of glorious eloquence: And Lucy Stone, whose sweet and gentle grace Brought even enemies to her defense. Mott, Stanton, Stone and Anthony; what names To bear aloft for pure nobility, The while each voice with gratitude proclaims : "They gave to us our Woman's Century!" The fifth decade saw some dreams coming true; This great association chose to stand For Woman Suffrage ; 'twas its founders' due That name and deed its great work should expand. The sixth, seventh, eighth,—let us not separate; Her work went on with added power and joy ; Her boundless courage nothing could abate, No pain could daunt, no failure could annoy. Here are three beads apart from all the rest, Yet hung upon our golden rosary; And who shall say which one of them is best,— For they are Faith and Hope and Charity. This pearl is Faith,—reward of earnest quest ; The turquoise, Hope, is ever in her sight; The topaz, Charity, lies on her breast; And over all Love's moonstone sheds it light.These are the reliquaries,—memories they; Some dark with pain that racked the very soul; Some bright with the self-sacrifice that may Mean joy unspeakable, but never dole. Here is the Cross,—ah me ! the heavy cross! It speaks of disappointments multiplied ; Of work defeated, and the bitter loss Perchance of hopes for which she fain had died. We've told our beads—the annals of a life To others given. Now let us look abroad And see, amid the record of the strife, If we behold her adequate reward. These years so freely given to the cause She made her own, have radiated far; In evolution there can be no pause; The circles vibrate past the horizon's bar. In the great cauldron of experience Her thoughts and deeds and words were stirred, until The world drew from the seethings a true sense Of woman's rights, untrammeled by man's will. To-day we know man's life is incomplete Unless the woman close beside him stand, Sharing his interests—for this is meet; It is as God ordained and nature planned. The perfect whole, poet and seer conceive Inclusive of both parts; who could desire A world by woman ruled ? Do we believe A man-ruled world is even an atom higher ? No ! man and woman for the sake of truth And love must join ; then seer and poet's voice : "Here is the fountain of eternal youth!" Shall cry ; and future nations will rejoice. Behold our Queen ! Surely with heart elate At homage given to her love and power; World-famed, associate of the wise and great,— She is herself the woman of the hour ! Priestess of righteousness without pretense ; Her greatness shielded by simplicity; Justice and mercy join in her strong sense Of service owing to humanity.

Nichols - in this wise - Make up a purse of $150. to pay for a steel engraving (& 2000 copies of it for our first edition) - of Mrs. Nichols to go into our history of Woman Suffrage - - Mrs. N. is not able to pay for the plate & 2000 copies herself - and the sum given me to print the history, is not large enough to do more than pay the bare printing - So that the persons whose pictures are put into our history will have to pay the cost thereof - If you can't raise the §150 - get as near to it as you can - for I want Mrs. Nichols sweet face to go down to posterity in our book together with that of dear Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Rose - & the rest of the early workers - I hope you have taken the "National Citizen & Ballot Box, published by Mrs. M. Joslyn Gage Syracuse, N.Y. * price $1 a year - and read all of Mrs. Nichols reminiscences of Kansas - If none of you take it - don't fail to send on your dollar, at once - so you can see from time to time how we get on with the history. And wont you good friends of Mrs. Nichols & of our cause, put on your thinking caps and recall every funny incident you can, and write everything down and send to me - to help us in history.I met Gov. Crawford in New York, and he thought Gen. Adams of the State Historical Society would see that money was raised for the engraving of Mrs. Nichols - And I should think Gov. Robinson would contribute - Will you look over the ground & tell me what can be done - - I am spending the winter with Mrs. Stanton, working on our history, which is now in progress - Mrs. S. Is correcting proof this evening - Thus you will see that I want to know immediately what you women of Kansas & men too - will do to help us to have Mrs. Nichols picture in it - I sent ever so much love by Mrs. Taylor to you and to Dr. & Mrs. Root - & to the Judge & to "bairns" - Sincerely yours Susan B.

My Dear Friend:— Your conference for next March, looks very promising from the programme. It is very much to the credit of the Chicago woman's club that they always look into the philosophy of things and search for the cause. I am sure this conference with all its studies into the various departments of the economic position of woman, will be productive of much good. I can't do any work upon any committee, but I see no objection to having my name stand on the advisory committee and to be consulted on whatever topics it was thought I might be able to give an opinion, but I know that the present time is but the transition that woman must inevitably go through to get from a lower to a higher position. It doesn't matter how good and perfect a house may be that we move into, the going from the old one to the new one, picking up and tearing up, is always disagreeable. Our National convention at Washington, D. C., comes this year between the dates of the 9th. and the 18th of February. Should any of your members be there, we should like very much to receive them as fraternal delegates. Mrs. Charles Henrotin has before now, given herself to our association for that purpose.
