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.

My Dear Friend: —- 1 enclose this letter from Mrs. Marion B. C. Dudley, whom I used to know when she lived at Milwalkee. The letter sounds pretty shaky as if her mind were a little off. People who find meaness on every hand doubtless see themselves in others quite frequently. This woman wrote me very strange letters indeed from Jacksonville, Florida, last year.

Y., March 5th, 1901. Mrs. Whiting Springfield, Mass. My Dear Friend: —- 1 enclose this letter from Mrs. Marion B. C. Dudley, whom I used to know when she lived at Milwalkee. The letter sounds pretty shaky as if her mind were a little off. People who find meaness on every hand doubtless see themselves in others quite frequently. This woman wrote me very strange letters indeed from Jacksonville, Florida, last year. I do not know how she expects to get suffrage, but she seems to think that I do and that I spurn her efforts. It seems hardly possible that three years have gone by since we were all in Adams at the foot of old Greylock. Very sincerely yours, Susan B. Anthony Please do not let her know that I sent you her letter-but if you hear of her tell me what you think of her

Dear Mrs. Stanton Your note came yesterday - most sincerely do I regret that your household must give you such greeting on your return - it is a shame that those large boys, Young Men - do not begin to feel a pride in helping to keep good order - But I will only rejoice that you & the cause have had the little you have of this Winters experience - I have sent you the Utica Papers - & hope you get them - We had two excellent meetings in Zions (Colored) Church, Rochester, on Sunday - Mrs. Stanton - The Hon. Phelps of Boston is determined to execute the law on me - I pray you impart nothing of my action to the sister Mrs. Garnsey - I'd like you to get her account of the whole affair, reveal her whereabouts - Moreover tell her, if anything - that I know it not - I have a letter from Mr. Garrison, begging me to reveal her hiding place - he says there is not spot or blemish on Phelps character - get Mrs. Garnsey's opinion on his chastity to his Marriage Vow - You will of course slip over to Auburn one of the days - It is a shame that you can never be released from constant presence at your home - I shall make a contract with the Father of my children to watch & care for them one half the time. I cannot write much - Mr. Green was down yesterday - bright & pure as ever and fresh for the Wars Spiritual - Garrison is clearly with us says they expect a severe time - but shall go on as if there was nothing but sunshine in prospect -(Susan B. Anthony to E. C. S. Feb. 1861) & such is more & more clearly our duty - Poor dear Mr. Mays philosophy, is just the one to best please his Satanic Majesty - & we can even spare the test for Syracuse - No, No, that city of loudest pretentions must be put to the test - I hope you may steal down there one day -. S. B. A. P. S. (On upper margin of first page) I have asked Lydia to see Ramsey about the Divorce hearing before the Judiciary -

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

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. Anthony
