Part 1 Picture of Elizabeth Cady Stanton Mrs Stanton was the first person in the world to ask for votes for women, away back in 1848. And as the ballot has now been given to all the women of the United States, I thought this would be a good time to tell the rising generation of young people something about the home life of the individual who started the whole question of suffrage for her sex. ._‘,.4:- 94. \\‘ ELIZ.&ETH cm STANTQN y Earl Bars iﬁ Jehnstcwn , Y 3 Over one hundred years age, a little girl was born whese meme Wee destined to be keen by the gee ideas ehe set adrift.

Those merry blue eyes were one of her marked features through life. An event that made a deep impression upon her, as a child, was the birth of a sister. Before she saw the now arrival, she heard several people say, “What a pity that the baby is another girl!" There were already four girls in the family, so when tho nurse took her in to see the little stranger, Elizabeth felt a kind of compassion for the baby. She remarked, in later life, "I didn't understand then that girls were considered an inferior order of beings." In those days there were no law schools in the United States. To the most noted lawyer in any region, the young man went who desired to study law. Judge Cady’s law offices, which adjoined his house, were famous all over the land and students came from the four points of the compass to be under his tutelage. Elizabeth’s Interest in the Law. my mother, from her earliest years, was constantly in her father’s offices, deeply interested in all that was going on there particularly in hearing the students talk about the laws they were studying. There was nothing those boys enjoyed more than roading aloud to Elizabeth all the bad laws they came upon relating to women. They found much more interesting to see her fly into a rage than to pore over musty law books. They always had a new batch ready whenever she appeared. Johnstown was in the midst of a large farming district, and Elizabeth often sat on hot father’s knee as he talked to his clients, especially if they were the wives of farmers who came to tell the tender-hearted judge of how unjustly they were being treated by their husbands. The cases often concerned the farm, on which many of the women had been born, and which frequently had been left them by their fathers before they were married. In 1823, no married woman could own property, If, as a girl, she had inherited a piece of land, the moment she married John Jones it passed into his hands. Everything she possessed his; her clothes, her false teeth even! If he took them away, she couldn't masticate her food! And she had no redress. The money she earned ever the wash~tub was likewise his, and he could collect it at the end of the day from the people for whom she worked! Worse still, he didn’t have to give her any of it. And this right of a husband to collect hie wife‘e wages was the law in California till 1910; when the women won the vote in that state. The Judge was explaining all these laws to old Sarah, whose ne‘er-do-well husband had mortgaged the beautiful farm which she had inherited from her father when she was a girl, till there was very little left. Sarah always supplied the Judge's family with eggs; butter, chickens, cider, and other good things, so that little Elizabeth looked upon her as a kind of lady bountiful, when she appeared at the week~ends. My grandfather got down many books and read the laws to Sarah to show her why he could not help her; however, petting her on the back, he told her he would put her on one of the best farms he owned, stock it for her, and she could have all she made from it, and could stay there as long as she lived. But it was justice not charity that the old woman wanted. Elizabeth had not been idle during this interview; When her father finished with a book, she quietly marked each law that he had read, turned down the leaf, and put the books back on the shelves upside down, so that she would know them. She followed the weeping woman into the street and when out of sight of the office she threw her arms about her, bade her cry no more, and told her that she had marked every one of those wicked laws, and that when the men had left the offices that evening she was going back and would cut them all out of the books. "Then", she said, "your troubles will be over!" As soon as Sarah could get rid of the child, she hurried back to Judge Cady and told him what his little intended doing. So, after supper, he took Elizabeth over to his office, and there, with the child seated on his knee, before the crackling logs of a big fireplace he told my mother how laws were made by the legislators at Albany, that his library was only one of many all over the state, that even if it burned up it would make no difference, that when people wanted to get the laws changed they had to go to Albany, talk to the legislators, and get them to alter the laws, then new books would be printed and the old ones laid aside. Little did that conservative judge dream that what no woman had ever done would, in years to come, be done by that very daughter of his. He unconsciously planted the seeds of rebellion in that fertile brain; and when grown to womanhood, the mother of four sons and a daughter, she took two nurses and two babies with her, and, leaving them at the Delevan house, went up to the Capitol building and made her first speech before a legislature on tﬁa unjust laws pertaining to married women. That was in 1854. 3i=39!?!&$a!Q5§9$'DiD9Q3@'8§§I§i§ -------------------------- : Picture : : of : : Judge Cady : -------------------------- Loss of her only Brother During my mother's childhood Judge and Mrs. Cady lost their only son, a fine, manly fellow, who had just graduated, with high honors, from Union College, JUDGE DANIEL CADY. Schenectady, N. Y. It nearly broke my grandfather's heart. He was always saying to Elizabeth, when she tried to console him, "Oh, my daughter, if you had only been a boy!“ Throwing her arms about him, she said “I will try to be all my brother was." She resolved to study hard and stand at the head of her class, to learn Greek, Latin, the higher mathematics, and to ride horseback--all of which resolves she carried out. Rev. Simon Hosack. Judge Cady‘s next door neighbor was an old Scotch Presbyterian clergyman, the Rev. Simon Hosack. Elizabeth was a great pet of his. Whenever she was in trouble she ran at once to consult him, she was eleven years old at this time. One morning, as he was working in his garden before breakfast, She came running over to ask him which he liked the better, girls or boys. "Why, girls of course," he replied, “I wouldn't give you for all the boys in Christendom." “My father doesn't feel that way," said the child, "he prefers boys, he wishes I had been one, and I intend to be as nearly like one as I possibly can. I am going to learn to ride horseback and swim, and I want to study Latin and Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, Doctor? I want to begin at once”. “Yes, dear child," he said throwing dawn his hoe, come into my library and we will start without delay." He entered fully into the feeling of suffering that possessed the little girl, and putting into her hands the old grammar he had used in the University of Glasgow, Scotland, he taught her the Greek article before breakfast. Elizabeth Cady was educated in the old Academy in Johnstown. The girls and boys were all in the same classes, except in the languages and higher mathematics. In these subjects my mother was the only girl among a number of boys, mast of them older than she, who were preparing for college. She was always running races with John Wells to see who should stand at the head of the class.

But being a good deal of a philosopher, she pitched into French and music with all her might, and wrote home to her father for the extra money needed for the dancing lessons. The judge promptly wrote back that he was perfectly willing to pay out any amount of money to educate her head, but would give nothing to educate her heels! He was toe mush of a Puritan to believe in dancing. Elizabeth Cady, even as a girl, rarely let any men get the better of her in an argument. She sent off an epistle post-haste, “Thank you, dear father, but your letter shows great ignorance, dancing is done on the toes not on the heels! So please send me the money by return mail." And he did, for Daniel Cady was too just a judge not to know When he was worsted in a case! Educating a Young Man for the Ministry. In these early days girls and women were always doing things to educate young men for something that these sons of Adam were not able to accomplish by their own efforts. My mother was the leader of a club of girls in their church which had undertaken to raise funds to educate a young man for the ministry. They sewed, baked, brewed tea and coffee, held fairs and sociables to pay his way through the Auburn Theological Seminary. When he was ready to graduate, they sent him money to buy a new suit of black broadcloth, a high hat, and a cane. Then they invited him to come and preach them a serman in the presbyterian Church, the largest in the town. Everyone turned out to hear him. The front pews were reserved for the girls. When the church was full and the psychological moment had arrived, the club marched in, head by my mother, and took their seats, all dressed in spring attire, each girl on the tiptoe of expectation to hear what their youthful theolagua wnuld say. I shall never forget hearing my mother describe that scene ta an audi~ enea in Chiaagag when she was on one of her lecturing trips. After dilating on haw faithfully that club of girls had worked to aducaie liha young man, in her round, rich voiae, she askaﬁ that vast assembly; “Ana what do ycu think, my friends: he took for his text?

Elizabeth Cady was brought up in tho midst of the most oonoorvativo; sooﬁarian surroundings; How she became so liberal, along so many lines, has always been an interesting study to mo; one of iho poiont influences in the life of this wideuawako young Womn was her oogstant visiting at the home of her cousing Gorrit Smith, the aboliw tionist, at Potefboro, New York. His daughter Elizabeth anﬂ my mother formed a strong friendship that lastoé all thoir 1iVBSa Grandfothor did not altogether approve of these visits; ”5udgo Cody ad» mired his brilliant nophoo'and appreciated his sterling oharaoiorg but ovary fibre of his being rovoltod against the aovanood opinions of Gorrit Smith. However, the two families were so knitted togothor by relationship and sinooro friendship ﬁhat a rupturowas absolutely impossible, so Elizabeth Cady osoapod oonstantly from the religious austerity of her homo into the swootor3 froor at» mospher of the ?etorboro household," wvitoo my sister, Harriot Stanton Blatoh. “Tho Potooboro house was spacious, and always full of choice society", Writes my mother; "hero you met scholars, philosophers, philanthoopigts, judges; bis~ hops, artists, musicians, and statomon. \ ........ There novor'wao such an atmosphoﬁoof peace, freedom ano good cheer, nor were there over two such hosts as Cousin Nancy and Cousin Gorrit.” There were tins when anﬁi-slavery was tho all~absorbing EOpi3a Through the portals of the home at Poterboro stopped Wendell Phillips; ﬁilliam Lloyﬂ Garm rison, Horace Greeley, Frederick Douglass, and John Brown} As it was one of the stations on the “Under Ground Railway", the outnbuildings often harbored runaway slaves, resting for a day or so till Mr. Smith was able to convey thomby oar- riago, or sleigh, safely to Canaéa, Where, the moment they stopped foot on English soil, freodom.awaitod thom. My mother saw and oonvorsed with those runaway slaves and heard from.thoir own lips the tales of their tortures; Thus it was that she early became interested in the sad lot of that much abused race; Every possible phase of political and social life come up for discussion at Peterfboro, and as those who did thetalking,were the leaers of thought of that day you can readily judge of the influence all this had on the open mind of my mother. . . , , Henry Brewster Stanton It was at Peten¥boro that Elizabeth Cady first met Henry Brewster Stentonﬁ _ re a direct descendant of Elder’ﬁi1liam,BreWster, who came over in the Mayflower, Mr. Stanton‘wae then considered the most eloquent aod impassioned orator on the anti-slavery pletforme eHe was a finemlooking man, ten years ow mother‘e senior» Elizabeth Cady had a passion for oratory, who unuotal powers and earnest» mess of Mr. Stanton soon made a deep impression upon her. Carriegewloads of ladies and gentlemen drove off every morning to dttend the anti~s1avery meetings that were being hold all over Eadison Gounty. The enthuoiesm.of the people in these great gatherings, the thrilling oratory, were experiences never to be forgotten. My mother says in her autobiography,- "I became deeply interested in anti~s1avory and temperance questions; saeeoeseee I felt a new inspiration in life, and was enthused with new ideas of individual rights; for the anti-slavery platform was the best sooool the American poopie ever had in which tolemmoteepublioan prinoioles of government."

V To return to the story: 'fEé boys'were distressed, as they servsd the guests, to see the look of disapproval on Governor Seward‘s and Gerrit Smith’$ faces as their hostess and her two Quakér friends ripped out their oaths. So when ihey got their mother alone, they gathered around her and with tears in their eyes said: "Oh, mother, what will the Governor and Cousin Gerrit think, hearing you Swear like thaﬁ?” "W611", she said, "you boys all do it, and so we £hought‘we would also; don‘t you like to hear us?" “Oh, no, other,“ they replied, with the tears running dawn their cheeks. “Oh, v9ry‘We1l," she said, her arms about two cf the lads as thay leaned against her, while the third boy sat on a stool ai her feet with his head in her lap, “If you boys will stop swearing, I will alsa.” And they did.

Too Much for a Bishop 4 One day the Bishop of the Diocese of‘Western New York, the Rev. Mr, Sex, was calling on my mother; he was violently opposed to the ballot for “ladies”, ahd'eas holding forth on the disabilities of women as a bar to their having the vote. “dhy, Bishop Cox“, exclaimed mother, "I didn‘t know that women had any dise abilities; pray mention them." “Well”, he said, "surely motherhood is a disability, Mrs. Stanton." "On the contrary, Bishop", she quickly answered, "motherhood is an added glory to womn. It is something that you men cannot do, - give birth to an immortal soul: If it be a disability, why does your church, the whole world around, celebrate the Magnifioat every Sabbath morning glorifying motherhood?”' "Y~e~s,3re~s”, ow ~t&4r¢ said the Bishop, hesitatingly, "that is true, Mrs. Stanton. I neveoriﬁeeoaihy ’ if c, in that light before. But - you must admit that your skirts are a disability." “Ry, Bishop"; quickly answered my mother, "we are not born with skirts on. ‘we lay them.off whenever we choose. And I notice that when you on go into the pulpit you put on flowing robes, and so do the Judges of the Supreme Court before they take their pleoes on the bench. This is done to give added dignity to the position.” “Y¥e-s, y-e—s," reluctantly drawled the Bishop, “I never looked at it from.thet angle before.

Mrs. Stanton always had the ooorege of her convictions, Which, with a re~ former,is half the battle. This was never better illustrated them in the following incident. She was back in her old home, Johnstown, visiting her mother. She and her sister, ﬁrs. Eaton,1sere walking toward the cemetery to visit the graves of their forebears. Now3iErs.

CHILDHOOD Elizabeth Cady was one of the five eaughtere of Judge Daniel Cady and hie wife Margaret Livingeton of Johnetowh, New York, where ehe W38 born November 13, 1815. Judge Cedy out» lived three generations of lawyers, he eaten the Supreme Court bench till he was over eighty years of age: the Judges are re» tired now on reaching seventy. ‘A life sized portrait of him hangs in the Capitol at Albany. Mrs. Judge Cady was a tall, handsome, queenly woman, a daughter of Col. James Livingston, who distinguished himself under General Washington in the War of the Revolution. She was full of "go" and "vim", so that little Elizabeth inherited brains, beauty and fight from both sides. Sons one has thus described the town where she was born, .“Birthplace is secondary parentage and transmits charac- ter”. Johnstown was more famous half a century ago than since; for then, though small, it was a marked intellectual centre; and now,though large, it is an unmarked manufacturing town. Be~ fore the birth of Elizabeth Cady it was the vice ducal seat of Sir William Johnson, the famous English negotiator with the Indians. During her girlhood it see the arena for the intel~ lectual wrestlings of Kent, Thompkins, Spencer, Elisha Williams and Abraham Van Vectan, who as lawyers, were the chiefest of their time. And as a child she used to sit on her father's knee and listen to the conversation of these distinguished men. xxxx But Johnstcwn still retains one of its ancient splendors — a.glory still fresh as at the foundation of the world. Standing on its hills, one looks off upon a country of enameled meadow lands, that meg’: away southward toward the Mohawk, and northward to the base of those grand mountains ~ the Adirondacks, which are "God's monument over the grave of John Brown!" In my mother's book"§$%QIh_Y§3?S, 3? £93.": Eh? €aYS3 "Who can estimate the power of antinatal influences, or the child's surroundings in its earliest years, the effect of some passing word or sight on one, that makes no impression on another. One, yearning for broader freedom, is in a chronic condition of rebellion, the other, more easily satisfied quietly accepts the situation." Johnstown was a hilly little hamlet, its streets were bordered sith stately elms, the houses were built right on the sidewalks, after the Dutch custom, with little stoogs in front, while beautiful gardens and large piazzas were at the back and sides of the houses, Each house boasted of large garrets and cellars. Those in my grandmother‘s mansion were the favorite resorts of my mother's childhood. She says; "In the garret were barrels of hickory nuts, on a long shelf cakes of maple sugar, and all kinds of dried herbs and sweet flag; spinning wheels, a number of white cotton bags marked ggig, goings. Calico and Flannel, and filled with bundles, as well as chests containing ancient masculine and feminine attire, swords and to sabres of wartimes. Here we would crack the nuts, nibble the sharp edges of the maple sugar, chew some favorite herb, punch the bags, whirl the old spinning wheels, dress up in our ances- tors’ garments, and give dramatic entertainments; - for there eere three of us about of an age, - and take a bird's eye vies of the surrounding country, out of an enticing scuttle hole.

Peter was very curdous by nature so he took them to places he sented to see, often arousing their curiosity by the tales he told them beforehand.

In the olden days lawyers‘ offioee adjoined their houeee, and to the most eelebreted in eny toen young men were eent from all over the State and country to study law: for there were no law schools away back in 1815. My grandfather's office always contained anywhere from ten to fifteen etudente, many of them from the best familiee of the land. And as Elizee beth, from her earliest years, took a deep interest in matters of law, the epent a great deal of her time in her father's office, often sitting on hie knees as he talked to hie olinete, eepeeieL- ly if they were Women who hed come to complain to the tender‘ hearted Judge of the unjuet Way they were being treated by their husbands and eone, when, by their herd work, they had helped to hey off the mortgagee on their femre. A In thoee early days no married women in New York could own any property, neither pereonel nor real; the elothee on her veok belonged to her husband, be false teeth, even, were hie! The wages she earned over the weehtub at the end of a day, belonged to him. The Judge eae explaining all this to old Sarah, a Scotch woman, whose hueband hed died, and left the farm to their son, ~ when it had been given to Sarah by her own father - and I whose young wife wanted to turn her out of houee and home. Sarah always supplied the Judge's family with eggs, butter, A chickens and other good things, so that Elizabeth looked upon her as a kind of lady bountiful when she appeared at the week ends. The Judge got down many booke and reed the laws to the old women to ehoe her why he couhdn’t help her, but patting her on the beck he told her, that as long ae she lived he'd look after her and see that she had a good home and oomforte. The alert little girl had quietly marked all the laws, and turned down the pages of each book and put them back on the shelves upside down eo that she would know them, then she followed Sarah out and putting her arm ebout her said, "hover mind, don't cry, I have marked all those bed laws and when my father leaves his office this efternoon I'm going to cut them all out, and then your troubles will be over.“ As econ as Sarah could get rid of the ohild she hurried back to Judge Cedy's office and told gim how hie little girl was intending to mutillete his books. So after supper he took Elizabeth over to his office and thgif seated on his knee before the ereckling logs in the hearth, he told her how laws were made by the legieleture,et Albany, that his lihrery wee only one of many all over the Stete, thet if she wanted the.lews changed she'd have to go down to Albany when she grew up and talk to the legislators and get them to change them, then new booke would“be printed and the old ones laid aside. l Little did that Conservative Judge dream that whet no woman hed ever done, would.be done by that very daughter of his in the years to come; he unconsciously planted the seede of re- bellion in the fertile brain, and when she grew to womanhood, the mother of four eons and a daughter, ehe took two nureee end three ohildren with her, and leaving them at the Deleven Houee, went up to the Capitol and made her first epeeoh hefore a legis- lature on the unjhet lewe pertaining to women.

Theee reeolvee ehe oerried out end they were destined to mould her ohereoter for life. Next door to the Cedy mansion lived an old Scotch clergy- man, Rev.

A "Yes child," he said throwing down his hoe, "Come into my study and we will hegin without delay." He entered_fully into the feelings of suffering and eorrow that poeeeesed thet eensitive little girl, end putting into her hende the old grammar that he had used intthe Uniyereity of Glasgow the Greek article was mastered hefore hreekfest. My mother attended the Academy in her netive town, the boys and girls were all together in the same eleesee. She studied eeong other things Greek, Letin end the higher eethemetioe. In these eleeeee she was the only girl among a number of hoys, ,she ea; always running intellectual races with John Welle, to see who should stend et the heed.

"From the Academy the boys of my olaee went to Union College, Soheneotedy. When thoee with whom I had etudied end contended for prizes for over five years came to bid me good'bye, and I learned of the barrier thet prevented me following in their footsteps - no oirleoedmittedyhege - my vexetion and mortifi- oetion knew no bounds.

The Whole town was there to hear him, for every one knew how hard this club of girls had worked to eﬁucate him’ the front pews were reserved for the girls. When the cheneeé-was full and the psychological eomer had arrived the club marched in and took their placee, headed by my mother, all dressed in spring attire, each girl on the tip toe of expectation to hear what thie youthful theologian woule say, whom host of them had educated over their heads.

There never was before, nor eince, juet euch a place as Peterboro, nor euch a host and hoeteee as Couein Gerrit and Couein Nancy: I wish I had plenty of time and space to tell you of this Wonaerful houeehold. Gerrit Smith's father had pur-t ohesed large treats of land from the Oneida tribe of Indians end every year members of the tribe paid him friehdly vieite. The slaves, too, had all heard of Gerrit Smith, the greet Aho- ﬁig , . ;,.,,,.e.~x°k’I~"”‘ .;,..,,.g,,., , litioniet, knew him as their friend, and that hie house weegot the etetienmwe <m.,._..,...l Weeds: and 9» safe route to Canada. In oonsequenee the greet barns and out—huildings were ,frequently used as chambers for “the bleokmen from the Southern plantation and the red men from his home in the foreet." “The houee was lerge and spacious and always full of choice society xxx here you met eoholere, philoeophere, philan- thropiete, judges, bishops, artists, mueioiené and statesmen xxx There never was such an atmosphere of peeoe, of freedom and good eheer." Q A There were times when anti-slavery was the all absorb- ing topic; through these portele etepped Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Gerrieon, Frederick Douglas and John Brown. Every poeeible phase of political and eooiel life came up for dieoueeion, and as these that did the talking were the leaders of thought of that day, you can readily judge of the influence all this had on the wide eeeke mind of Elizabeth Cedy. "Those roueing arguments‘ at heterboro made sooiel life eeem tame and profitleee elsewhere, and the youngest of us felt that oonolueione reached in that reohool of philosophy were not to be queetioned," my mother writes. It was at Peterboro that Elizabeth Cedy met Henry Brewster Stanton, a direct descendant of Elder Breweter, who oeme over in the Mayflower. He was then ooneidered, the most eloquent and impassioned oretor on the enti-slavery platform. Mr. Stanton had come to hold e series of conventions all over Madison County and made Gerrit Smith’e home hie head» 15 quarters. Miss Cady had a passion for oratory, and as Mr. Stanton was then in his prime, she see deeply impressed with his eposers. “He was a fine looking young man with a remarkable oonsersational talent: In the Conventions he ooula make his so- dienoes both laugh and cry at will; the latter Wendell Phillips said he never could do." Carriage loads of ladies and gentlemen drove off every morning to attend these meetings, not returning till late at, night. The enthusiasm of the people in these great gatherings, the thrilling oratory, were experiences never to be forgotten. My mother writes in her autobiography, "I heoame deeply interest- ed in Anti-slavery and temperance questions xxx I felt a new in— spiration in life, and was enthused with new ideas of individual .’ rights; for the Anti-slavery platform was the best school the, American people ever had in which to learn republican principles of government. As they oame out from hreakfast one morning, Mr; Stanton joined hiss Cady on the eiazza and suggested a horseback ride, as there was no convention that day. She readily agreed: the day see orisp and bright, the horses good and as they were re- ‘. turning home they stopped to admire abeautiful view, when suddenly, laying his hanﬁ on the pommel of her saddle, to her surprise, she says, "He made one of those charming revelations. of human feelings whioh brave knights have always gound eloquent words to utter, and to which fair ladies have always listened with mingled emotions of pleasure and astonishment.” V. =!t****=§=************ THEIR WEDDING 16 THEIR WEDDING The outcome of these glorious October days in JOURNEY Peterboro 1839, was a marriage ceremony in Johnetown, N. Y. may ll, 1840, henry Brewster Stanton and Elizabeth Cedy were the contracting parties. They etarteﬁ for New York City that day, and left for England on the Montreal, a sailing ‘' vessel, a few days later, to attend the World's Anti-Salvery Convention in Lonéon, to which Mr. Stenton had been eent ae a delegate. They hed a delightful trip which leeted three eeeke3 they landed in Torquay, and their journey next day; on the top of a stage coach took them through eome of the meet beautiful ecenery of England. Mother eaye; "The roads were perfect, the large, fine-looking coaohman with hie white glovee and reine, hie rosy face and lofty hearing, and the £i%§E man in red blowing hie long horn ae he rolled through the little villagee, made . the drive eeem like a journey in fairyland." Their lodging houee was the headquarters for many of the? most distinguished men and women delegates from Boston and Phila- ﬁelphia. There had.been a split in the Amerioan Anti—elavery ranks over the Egggg_ggeetion, and as the William Lloyd Garrison haanch maintained the right of the Women delegates to both epeak and vote at the Convention, my mother&e eympathiee were with the Qarrieoniane . "To me," Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes, “there was no question eo important ae the emancipation of women from the dogmas of the past, -‘hplitical, religious, eooial. It struck me ae very remarkable that abolitioniete, who felt eo keenly the eronge of the black elavee, ehould.he eo oblivioue to the equal wrongs of their own white eothere, wives and eietere." The question of admitting the women delegatee was hotly ﬁebated for an entire day; my father, Henry B. Stention, I am proud to eay made an eloquent epeech in favor of the women. 17 Every one in England had looked forward to hearing the far-famed William Lloyd Garrison speak, but he was so enraged at the whole performance thatyhe said, “I can take no part in a convention that etrikee down the meet sacred rights of all Women.” So he refused to go on the floor of the Convention at all, and eat in the gallery with_the rejected noaen delegateei The action of that Convention wee the topic of oonverea- tion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, it etung women into thought and gave riee, eventually, to the movement for Woman’e Political Equality in England and the United States. My mother's aoquantainee with Lucretia hott, the Wonder- ful Quaker preacher, who was a liberal thinker in politics, reli~ gion and reform, onened a new world of thought to her. She nae one of the rejectef delegatee and Mrs. Stanton eat next her in the gallery. My mother was ahked on her return from Europe what she had eeen in the old world that interested her meet, her prompt reply was ”Lgoretia Mott!" hy father, among othere, was invited to epeak all over the British Ielee, of course mother accomnanied.him, and ae they were entertained in the homes of the nobility, and wealthy Qnakere in many of the cities, they had a rare opnortnnity for eee-y ing the home life of thoee daye, «They took time off from theee meetings to “do” the eighte in various p rte of Ireland, Scotland and England. They met many of the notable people of that day, Baniel O’Connell among them. He made his first appearance at the World'e Convention a few days after the Women delegates were re- T jected. He paid a beautiful tribute to Woman and eaid, if he had been preeent, he would have voted for their adnieeion. Mother eaid he was a tall, amgnifieent looking man with wonder- ful powers of eareaem and denunciation and added to this the 18 most tender pethoe, he could make hie hearers laught ehd ory at hie pleasure. He wee probehly the most effective speaker Ireland ever had.

Fether and mother ended their wedding journey by epend- ihg eix eeeke in Perie and eeeing iteaeighte. The eontreet be- tween the Englieh eehheth and that of Frenoe, ehe pute eo aptly, that I must quote it, "In Perie we found everything open, In London all pleoee of emueeeeht were eloeed, nothing open to the people but the churches end drinking eeloone.“ They eeiled from England on the Siriue of the Cunerd Q Line, the first re uler, htlemtie eteemehi . tire.

So Mother etood and looked out of the door for some time, when she returned to the seet where its parents were, she said: “you see, hedeme, e11 your baby wanted was a drink of ester." "weteri" exclaimed the woman, "my baby has never had a drink of water in his life. I didn't know babies eented ester." "Don't you give water to your puppiee and kittens?" mother inquired. "Oh, yes", she eeid. "How old is your beey?" Mother asked. "A year," she enswered. "What have you been giving him to drink when he was thirsty", Mrs. Stanton futher pursued the inquiry, and to her horror the Women eeid, "Tee, coffee, milk, and when he erieﬁ very hard e. few drops of ehisliye or soothing syrup in the milk."

This afforded our heroine, anotherchapter of experiences. Grand- yfather had given her a very nice new house, beatifully furnished, commanding a fine view of Boston Bay. L "It is a proud moment in a womanis life to reign supreme within four walls. I studied up everything pertaining to housekeeping and enjoyed it.

They spent sixteen years of their married life in that little town and thenetheir remaining children were born, two sons and two daughters. Just as Mother was ready to leave Boston her sister Mrs. Eaton, her husband and two children arrived from Europe, as Mr. Eaton had to hurry on to New York on business, and my father had to remain in Boston to close up his affairs, the two ladies with five children, a nurse and seventeen trunks started for A Johnstown. They had failed to tell their parents the exact » time and date of their arrival, so took them by surprise when they appeared at midnight? In consequence the whole household was aroused to dispose of them, Mother calmly remarked in her book, “But now in safe harbor, ‘Mid familiar scenes our slumbers were indeed refreshing. How rapidly one throws off all care and anxe iety under the parental roof." W Grandfather gave Mother an old fashioned house in Seneca Falls, also a farm not far from thevillage. Her elder sister, Mrs. Bayard, had lived in that town several years before. And as Mother had visited her several times, she was already well acquainted with many people in the town and vicinity. So after a few days of rest in Johnstown, she started alone for her new home, quite happy with the responsibility of re- pairing a hgﬁtgazgfputting all things in order. p The house had been closed for several years, so needed much done to it, the grounds, comprising five acres, were overgrown with weeds. Grand» father gave her a goodly sized check at parting and said with a smile,” You believe in Womanis capacity to do and dare, now go ahead and put your place in order.” 35 She says; “lifter a minute survey of the premises and due consultation with several sons of §_g_a__:_g_y, .9 set carpenters, ~ painters, paperhangers and gardeners to work, builifafiine new kitchen, wood house and several porches: in one month I tooki possession." Her three little sons and their nurse were left at her Mother’s, so that she was able to give all her time to the work in hand and show the executive ability she posseesed.i In Seneca Falls my Mother found life comparatively solitary, as her house was on the edge of the village, and the change from Boston nae depressing. There all her immediate friends were reformers; and among the chiefest of that day. There she had a house with all the modern improvements, well —trained servants, near and delightful neighbors. Here the servants were inferior.__ She had an increasing number of. children and he::Zusbeady:¥::quently obliged to be away from home on business. She sums it all up so graphically in the following words, "To keep a house and grounds in order, purchase every article for daily use. Keep the wardrobes of half a doseh human beings in proper trim, take children to dentists, shoemakere, day and dancing schools, to find teachers for home study, alto- gether ma e sufficient work to keep one brain busy, as well as all the hoods-I could press into service. Then, too, the novelty of housekeeping had passed away, and much that was once attractive in domestic life was irksome. iI had so many cares that the company I needed for intellectual stimulus was a trial rather than a pleasure.“ A Before this her life had glided by with comparative case, but now the real struggle of existence was upon her. Her duties were too numerous,and ”none,“she says,"sufficiently ex- 36 hilarating to bring interplay my higher faculties, hence I suf- fered from mental hunger. I now fully understood the practical difficulties most women had to contend with in the isolated house- hold, and the impossibility of womanis best development if in contact the chief part of her life; with servants and children.” Near her house was an Irish settlement from which came constant complaintsthat her boys were throwing stones at their pigs, cons End roofs. This involved diplomatic relations b it £ If a?‘;:§:‘_ 5 §.~rv.; \«~- 4 my .~ s s ““ the ssh‘ of affairs, Mrs. Stanton was so successful that she soon became an umpire for all the troubles of the neighborhood. She loaned the men and women papersand books, invited the children into her grounds gave them fruit, toys and picture books. If a man came home drunk and was pounding his wife and children she was sent for at once.‘ Hurrying to the scene she would take Pat by the collar, seat him in a chair, talk to him and make him promise to behave, and he did. She ministered to the women in the pangs of maternity, taught them how to care for themselves and their babies, with her box of homoeopathic medicines she went among them when they were ill; she was looked upon by all as theéguardian angel. “Alas: alas! who can measure the mountains of sorrow and suffering," she says, ” endured in unwelcome motherhood in the abodes of poverty, where terror stricken women and children are thel victims of strong men frenzied with passion and intoxicating drink?“ Emerson says, g healty discontent is the fir3t-Bt¢* in ro sees, nrs. Stanton says, “The general discontent 1 felt with womanis portion as wife, mother, housekeeper, physician and spiritual guide, the wearied; anxious look of the majority of women n impressed me with a strong feeling that some active measures should be taken to remedy the wrongs of society in general, and women in particular; My experience at the World‘s Antiuslavery convention in Londcn, all I had read of the legal status of woman, and the oppression I saw everywhere, ssept across my soul intensified now by my many personal experiences. It seemed as if all the elemental had conspired to impel me to some onward step. I could not see what to do, or where to begin,~ my only thought waste public pro—_ ,test and discussion.” In this perturbed state of mind she received an in- vvitation to go up to Waterloo, the next town, and spend the day at the Hunts, to see Lucretia Mott, who was there on a visit. They had invited quite a party of their quaker friends to meet Mrs. Mott and'Mrs. Stanton, all earnest, thoughtful, married women. my Mother was so full of her spirit of discontent, and she poured it out with such vehemence and eloquence, that she stirred herself and all her hearers, she says, ” to do and dare anythingi”‘ They then and there decided to hold a ”Woman‘s Rights Convention.” They wrote the gg;;_that afternoon and had it print-, ed the next day in the Seneca County Courier, July 14, 1848. The. Call was given without signatures, it was merely an announcement of the meetings for July 19, 20. lThe chief movers were Lucretia Mott of Philadelphia, Elizabeth Cady Stanton of Seneca Falls, Mary Ann Mcclintock and Jane Hunt of Waterloo, and Martha 0. Wright of Auborn. The last mentioned person was the sister of Mrs. Mott and the grandmother of Thomas Mott Osborne, the present Warden of Sing Sing prison whou,you see comes naturally by his reform proclivities. All the women were happily married persons, with good husbands and families of children. 28 The convention was held in the Weéﬂleyan Church, Seneca Falls. It was a great success, the pla s has crowded,both men and women spoke. James Mott, Lucretiais husband, presided, a relisious earnestness di 1 :if££$§ﬁ;%€ﬁhe_ rsceesiass- My Mother sayst“ These were the hasty, iniative steps of the most momentous reform that has yet been launched in this sorld,- the first organized protest against the injustice shichhas brooded for ages over the character and destiny of one ‘gal; 3*.‘ 12-V half th§:;§;e.” W My Mother fails to relate in her Autobiography one incident that I think most significant ~ and which I have heard her relate many times. It shows how far ahead she was of her times, and how she saw into the future. she asked Frederick Donglas what it was that he saw that his people the black slaves ~ needed to put them on the right plane, ” Why the ballot,” he promptly replied. "And I see that that is exactly what we women need,” said Mrs. Stanton. <4? 5 _ Then she explained to him that sheﬂinipaéoi-to draw7K_e tap a resolution to that effect, which she would read, and that she wanted him to instantly jump to his feet and speak for her re~ solution, then she would do likewise. She told him that in the econferenoes before the Convention when she had said that Mssballot in the hands of'w men was the Key note to the situation) Mrs. Mott had exphainad,"Oh, Lizzie,if thee makes that demand thee will make us ridiculous. We must go slowly.” And my father who usnally stood firmly by her in all she did and said, and also spoke and worked for the Cause of woman was so amazed at her daring, when 29 when she confided to him what she intended doing, and was so disgusted whenshe would not follow his advice ~ that he left town and would not attend the convention!‘ But she felt she was right, and Douglas agreed with her and said he would help her out. Then, too, she remembered the advice Daniel Olconnell had given her years before “Claim the uttermost, then you'll get something.” Of course the rest were furious at her for springing her resolution on the convention, it created not debate but the brilliant defense of her position made by Douglas, and her own eloquence and logic carried the day. So that Mrs. Stanton's de- mand from the first was those three little words Votes for Women! Taking the Declaration of ngghte and Resolyutigns of those earnest men and women as their text, “it seemed as if every man who could wield a pen in 1848 prepared a homily on Qgggjswgghere." And the Sghere of Woman is still one of man's favorite topics in 1915! The ball was set rolling and has been in motion ever since, sixty-seven years! They were denouncsd_ by the entire press of the Nation. _ The same year of the Convention - 1848, the Married Womanis Property Bill, which had given rise to much discussion In? s s in New York, had passed the legislative and become arias. Mrs. Stanton and several other women had spoken before committees of the legislative, years before, demanding eqnal property rights for women. this bill was before the legislature from Governor Seward, you‘ll remember, recommended it. petitions for .it had been circulated for many years by women; and many men, lead- ers of the Dutch Aristocracy, also circulated petitions. These 30 long headed men wished their life-long accumulations to pass into the careful hands of their daughters and grandechildren, rather than into those of their dissipated sons~in-law. The bill had been ably prepared and championed by some of New York State’s best Judges, at different times, and the men were grateful for all the help the women gave them. Hence the demands of those in that first convention were not entirely new to the reading and thinking prople of New York,~ the first state to take any action in the laws concerning the property of married women. Mrs. Stanton remarks,”As New W York was the first state to put the word_gg;g_intc the Constitution in 1778, it was fitting that she should be the first in more liberal legislation for women." The effect of the convention on my Mother was most beneficial, its discussions had4g;gared her mind as to the} rise; stage to be taken for the enfranchisement of women, it gave her the opportunity to express herself freely on the subject that had lain nearest her heart all her life: she was then thirty-three years old. She was invited to speak in many nearby places, these new duties and interests gave her a broader out-look on life, her”petty domestic annoyances gradually took a subordinate place.” She wrote articles fcrthe press, sent letters to conventions, and friends trying to awake them to action. The ministers of Seneca Falls preached sermons on Womanis Sphere, the ladies took notes and answered them in the town paper. The women in order to answer these attackes, were obliged to study canon and civil laws, con? ID AMELIA WILLARD. SUSAﬁ B.

She was indeed a treasure, a friend and comforter, a second mother to my children, and understood all life's duties and gladly bore its burdens.

Anthony. She was teaching schoo at Canajoharrie, a little village in the Valley L a/“..¢yyo.JL of the t-hawk, she had been both §g§aed,and startled by “The On going home to Rochester‘ for her vacation, she found that her Quaker parents had attended the meeting held in that City when Mrs. Stanton spoke, and found her demands quite groper and reasonable. Miss Anthony was already 5 interested in anti~s1avery, and temperance and had spoken at meetw 32 ings; but the new gospel of Woman?si§;gg3g& as it was called Wyears, found a ﬁr response in her mind. /3 ’§reat women did not meet till 1851, almost from the day of their meeting, till the hour of my mother‘s deatn,~ a period of over half a century ’2%§Z}e was never a break in their friendship.3i§$:€ab1y oné of the most beautiful and intimate friendships ever existing between two women. Miss Anthony came to Seneca Falls to attend an entiwslevery Vmeeting gotten up by my father and William Lloyd Garrison. She was walking with Mrs. Amelia Bloomer and they met Mrs. Stanton and Mr. Garrison on a street corner. Miss Anthony often visited my mother after that to talk over the situation, and she incidentally assisted her in the " management of her fast growing family, for it was in Seneca Falls that We four youngest children firstsaw the light. We called her “Susan”, and ran to her with our tears and troubles, if we couldnit find our mother. Mrs. Stanton never knew what mischief. she would find had been done during her absence on errands in the village. «Her second son, Henry; then nine years old was quite an inventor and on one occasion as she was walking home by the river road, ehe was greeted with shouts from a boat full of boys on the water, “Oh! Mother, it works, it Works perfectly!" i “What works?“ she called outgi "My life preserver,“ the boy answered. And to her horror there was her fourth son, then a little over a year old, with the life preserver under his arms, splashing around in the river as blue as indigo: the baby, accustomed to a cold bath every morning in a large tub seemed to be enjoying it also, in spite of his color. K 1 $7 I 1 I ". 33 The youthful inventor was firmly shown the error of his ways in the privacy of his room, and forbidden ever again to take the baby outside the grounds. Shortly after the foregoing perform— ence Mother was returning from church with a friend, when suddenly he ssid,“Look up on the chimney, Mrs. Stantoni” And thanjshe beheld the same baby seated in the chimney topy withthe inventor standing beside him. She quietly slip ped up-steirs,out on the roof and rescued her fourth son Theodore,¥ who is a journalist, and lives in Paris, France, and is now serving every afternoon as an Orderly in the Anerioan Hospital during this awful war. Qn remonstreting with Henry over this breax-neck performance, he doe fended his action thus,"Mother, you told me not to take the baby out of our grounds,noe that chimney is in our yard.“ On another occasion the three older boys locked Theodore in the smoke house. He roared so lustily thet Mother heard him_ and let him out, then she spanked the other boys and shut them up in the garret, and taking her abused boy in her lap? was trying to console him hy telling what she had done with his naughty brothers, loosed them up so tight that they ooulenit get at him till she chose to let them out. _The child just then exclaimed, “Why, mother, then they all go running eoroﬁﬁy the lewnt“ They had reached out the window, caught hold the lightening rod, swung themselves around the corner of the large chimney and gone down the rod hand over hand. The youngest of them, Gerrit, had slid down and taken all the skin or: tne§ inside of his hsneg, and was sobbing bitterly to himself., So he had to be tr§%%§% with first aid to the injured. tlt was in the midst of such exhilarating scenes that Miss Anthony and I,“ my mother remarks, "wrote addresses for temperance, 34 anti-slevery, women*s rights and educational conventions..... We made it a matter of conscience to accept every invitation to speak on every question, in order to maintain Womenls Right to do so.... To this end we took turns on the domestic watch towers directing iamusements, settling disputes, protecting the week against the strong, trying to secure equal rights to all in the home as well J’ as in the nation.“ gr . .. «$7; 4-, L ' § Sag xi :4 Mother said whenever she saw thet stately Qisierégirl coming across her law, with her little black beg, she knew it was stnffed full of facts as to what this or that Reverend gentleman had said, or the statistics of women robbed of their nroperty, or shut out frgg some college, or the reports of some disgraceful triel,~“>r i enough to turn any womenls thoughts from stockings and péddings 3 " A Then these two would get out their pens and paper and write articles for the press in different parts of the Country, or petition the legislature, Write letters to their anti-slavery friends to remember the white women as well as the black slave. They never met without forging some kind of a thunder-bolt and sending it forth. 0f their relationship my mother seys,“In thought and sympathy we were one, and in the division of labor we exactly com- plemented each other. In writing we did setter work together than either could alone. While Miss Anthony is slow and analytical in comw position, I an rapid and synthetic. I am the better writer, she the better critic... Together we have made arguments that have stood un- shaken through the storms of long years, ergments that have never been answered.“ ahoeeer Therefnesv+<* one feeling of jealousy between thesithey ‘t indulged freely in criticism of one another when in private, each 35 hotly defending their opinions, but there was never a break of even an hour, mother says, in their friendship. Like a true husband and wife they had the feeling that they must have no differences oft opinion in public. Thus united at an early day these two unusual women began to survey the state and nation as the future field of their labors. They read critically the proceedings of Uongress, or Uonrerences and general assemblies, and found that in all aiine, the existence of women was ignored. night after night oerore an old-fashioned tire place these two plotted and planned the coming agitation. Soon the state was aflame with disturbances at temperance and teachers‘ con- ventions, and the newspapers heralded the news that women delegates had appeared and demanded admission; their rights were valiantly lfought for by the liberal men on one side and the clergymen and4é;4W*£9{;- professors on the other. They were rejected with terrible anathemaS.s The battles were fought in the chief cities all over the country, till the bigotry of man was Well exposed. "Every right achieved to enter a college, to study a profession, to labor in a new industry, or to advocate a reform measure was contended for inch by inch.‘ l The Women ofto~day will never know what to ﬁe early piou neers suffered and endured to give them all the advantages theye accept new as a matter of course. ‘ \\ Just at this time, Ocotber 18523 I appeared on the scenes; There sere four boys and mother being very fond of children, longed for a girl. She was an unusually strong, healthy individual . She didn‘t know what nerves out of tune were, and when she found herself again in an interesting condition, she determined to see if a per-« fectly normal woman oouldnlt have a baby without one pain or ache. 36 Her physician at this time, was a progressive, young homeopathist. They discussed the subject in all its bearings, and laid down laws for her to live by as retards dressy diet etc.. . , ooe__w,e'% /Ag%;;L%Qw£;&s¢u¢fQ+ou£%§»4ué79;7ewv“w4 Q She wore the much talked of glgggggmggggg at this times and/“2 - m _-e so was free from the turmoil ofnettiooe;sE)\She often spoke of how easy it was to go up stairs with a baby on one arm and a candle in ethe other hands and have no skirts to hold up. She lived out doors with her children, drove out daily, sangandglayed on pisno and guitar, read elevating books, and kept herself in as happy and sunny a state as possible{ At last the day of the great event Verrived. She called her housekeeper and told her to send for the ‘ dootor and nurse. But as neither got there, and she was well versed in whet had to be done on such an ocoasion,~ having taken a course in obstetrics, and assisted at several cases of childvbirthiw she did it all herself? She said I appeared with just one exertion. She tied the naval cord, out it, and delivered herself of her after- birth, putting it in e bowl or water, so that the doctor, when he oame, should see that it was all there. She sashed the faces eyes and mouth of her twelve pound daughter, rubbed her all over with oil and wrapped her in a clean cloth and laid her down to sleep. A baby is tired when it is born and should not be annoyed with the process of washing and dressing at once. Then Mrs. Stanton got up, bathed and dressed herself and went down to breakfast with her little boysi Father had been called away on business, so was not on hsnd for the great event. hy advent had taken place at 6 o'olook. she had sung to her sons the night before, accompanying herself on the guitar, and iblﬁ//éagw? told them, es she helpedAthem to bed,ihat probably a little stranger would be in their midst by the next day, that if it were a little 37 sister, they'd have to kneel and kiss her big toe every morning, but. if it were enother brother they need not do so. After breakfast she hung a white flag out of her window as a sign to some friends living on the other bank of the river. that it was a deughter. Had it been another boy the fleg was to have been red? iBy nine o’clock the lsdies appeared on the scenes. They were all listening intently to her recital of the transaction when in walked the doctor. He looked hurriedly around to see if mother were among them; then hearing a cry from the next room, with a puzzled look on his face he hurried in, examined me very carefully, then returned and looking at this bevy of femininity, inquired, "Which of you ladies is the mother of that fine girl?“ He was delighted at the result of their combined efforts, he gave my mother a careful examination to see that all was right, and said the baby was as perfect a child as he ever saw. Mother was never in bed an lextra hour either before or sfter my birtht Before eleven o‘c1ook she had written several letters announcing the arrival of her first daughter. She had dinner nxhhher boys, took a nap, and in the glorious October sunshine walked out to en arbor in the yard and gathered some grapes. The next day she drove three miles to Waterloo‘ to call on a friend and bring her down to see her daughter. This lady was a Quaker and a Spiritualist and when she heard the wonderful tslei she laid her hand on mother*s arm and asked tremhlingly? Lizzie, is thee in the flesh, or is this thy Spirit?“ Being assured that she was yin the flesh she beggedfher to hurry and get on her wraps and go down with her to see her lovely little daughter, as she must go back to nurse her. My mother always attributed a great deal of her perfect health to her wonderful powers of sleep, which she inherited from 38 her father. When Judge Csdy_hsd an important lsw suit to try, he‘d say to his sifeg" Now, I have ten minutes to spare, my door, before starting for Court. I*ll lie down and sleep here on the sofa, end when the time is up, sake me.” So heid assume the horizontal; right in the midst of things, throw a handkerchief over his eyes to keep the light out, and almost instantly was off in he lend of nod. When he was awakened ten minutes later, he srose as fresh es a newly blown daisy. If ever my mother were worried about anything, as s icnild even, she would go to her room, lie down anu tshe a nap. She didn’t know what nerves were. She wouloﬂsit down in the midst of her children in their play room and nééh-s fine speech;'nas sble to so concentrate her mind on her work that their noisy play neter disturbed her. She said she was like a clock that had to be wound up ehen the machinery ran down. Suioenly she would be so overcome with sleep thst she couldn‘t keep her eyes pen for snother minuts. So she*d lie down on the couch and say," how, children, you son take my shoes and stockings offend put them on again, do anything you like with me, as long as you don’t quarrel. I shall sleep right on, the feeling of your little hands is very soothing, but the minute you begin to squabble, youiil wake me right up.“ so this wonderful women could work by the hour and tske her naps even in the midst of her children, hence, why she was able to accomplish so much literary work while raising a large family of boys and girls,- for there were seven of us! A A strong, healthy mother is one of the finest works of the Creator, and when she adds brains, education, executive ability and accomplishes great things both inside and outside her house; she is to me e wonder! When I was about ten years old we moved to New York city, and when I was sixteen I came. back to Seneca Falls end made a long visit at the home of one of mother‘s dearest friends.

First speech In l854 mother prepared her first speech to be before the - A i Legislature. given before the legislsture of New York State. I have often heard her tell of that experience. She had spoken before anti-slavery, temperance and women suffrage conventions,‘but never before such an august assemblage as the Legislature of her native Stste. On her way to Albany she stopped over at Johnstown with. her youngest children and nurse, to have a short visit with her parents, but they did not know the object of her trip. She had spent a long time preparing her speech and when it was finished read it aloud to her husband and he pronounced it excellent; so that she felt quite contented in her mind. As she sat reading late one sfternoon her father came in and laying the glbsny Evening Journal in her lap he pointed to an item in the paper and asked her if it was true. It read something like this} "Mrs. Elizabeth Csd Stanton, daughter of the distinguished jurist, Judge Daniel Csdyé will address the Legislature at nlbsny," giving the day and date. "Yes, it is true," she replied in a calm tone of voice, while internally she was in s turmoil. "Have you ever spoken before such an assemblage of men?“ the Judge asked. “No,” she answered. “Then how do you krnw you can?" he said. 42 "I have prepared my speech, committed it to memory and it has been pronounced good, and I have been rehearsing it every day up in the garret since I came hereg“ replied the young woman. “Well, after tea this evening, I want you to come ever to my office and read it to me," he said as he walked out of the room. Mother eaid she never dreaded anything more in her life, an audience of one, and that one of all others whose approbation ‘she most desired, and who condemned the whole movement and wee deeply grieved at the active part she took in it. I However, she appeared at the hour named, and the , before the same large fireplace, where she had sat on his knee as a child and he had told her how laws were made, and how to get them changed, with all the determination she poeeeesed, she set out to Win over her unsympathetic audience. She had a wonderfully sweet, persuasive voice and threw all the pathos she could into it. She had arranged her speech under three heads, the i”?? laws as they affected ieomen in irlhood. as wivesr as widowe. Her word pictures were ac I I forceful, clear and pathetic that glancing up, she saw the teare filling her fatheris eyes. "I cannot express the exaltaticn I felt,“ she saysg"thinking that now he would see with my eyes, the injuetice women euffered under the laws he understood so well." Feeling that she had touched hie heart, ehe went on with new confidence and when she finiehed ehe saw that she had thoroughly magnetized him. “With beating heart," she writes, "I waited for him to break the silence. He was evidently deeply pondering over all he had heard, and did not speak for some time. I believedy I had opened to him a new world of thought." ‘He had listened, to the_complaints of women for years in that very room, but from the lips of his own daughter 43 they came with a new meaning. Turning to her at last, he eaid, “Surely you have had a happy,comfortable life, with all your Wante g E § 2% up, who has had no bitter personal experiences; feel so keenly the § wronge of her eex?* Where did you learn this leeeon?“ "I learned it here,” ehe replied,”in your office, as a child; listening to , ., .45. I eh ‘in the complaints women made to you. They who have sympathy and imag~§ ination to make the eorroee of othere their own, can readily learn 1 all the hard leeeone of life from the experience of othere.” '2 He told her ehe had maie her pointe clear and etronge but 3% that he could find her more cruel laws than ehe had quoted.

She went to Albany the next day and made a greet_eucceee of her epeech. The Aeeemhly room was filled to over~flowing, all the elite of Albany were there, as both ehe and her family were well known in the Bapital. There nae great curiosity felt, as most of the people had never heard a woman speak in public. Judge Page jo1ned her after the hearing was over and patting her on the back, eaid3“That wee a fine epeech, you did your father credit. Didnlt he have a finger in that pie?"

She said of her father that while hewas sober and taciturn in manner, his keen .«;c:-=nse of justice moved him to modify the smnewhat military rule which her mother msistetl should prevail in the household. Elizabeth Cady Stanton owed much in her (;»;3i‘ly girlhood to the friendship and guidance ,3_+ Reverend Simon Hosack, who was Pastor ctr the Scotch Presbyterian Church which her -£<gmily' attended in Johnstown. This was a .5?-:atch settlement, in which there prevailed fire old feudal ideas regarding women and ;m;perty'. Elizabeth Cady, as a girl, spent 771$/LC.i1 time in her father's oﬁice, and there, in wugh the complaints of unhappy dependent ~.v':::2ieii, became well acquainted with the in— \'Jb~Sll(.‘€ of the common law. Consequently she v'€5:»lv'ed to do what she could to free her sex «rmrii the disabilities under which they were Then living. In her childish indignation, 'i’V‘llI1l{lI‘lg that her father and his books were -the beginning and the end of the law, she marked obnoxious statutes with a pencil, and }3r:w[)OS€d to cut them out and thus end them. ti;-itteii she was ten years old, her only brother, who had just been graduated at Union College, cited and left her father inconsolable; for, like his neighbors, he believed so ﬁrmly in ~tlme Blackstonian theory of the headship of ‘(ﬁre man, that the loss of his only son was a *’?'€;f-*’E‘ll)l€ blow to his hopes. Elizabeth, desiring fr t1<)IlS()l€‘ her father, resolved to do all that i«~;wl»rothc-r had done. Immediately she began uzml/er Doctor Hosack the study of Greek, (;\JillCl] she continued at the Academy with such success that she secured one of the two prizes offered for proﬁciency in that language. With her prize she went at once to her father, expecting that he would praise her as he would have praised his son, but she records pathetic- ally that he merely remarked, “Oh, my child, if you were only a boy." This incident was a bitter disappointment to the ambitious girl, and, mortiﬁed by the inequality in the condi- tion and the treatment of boys and girls, she i , v 5 l J ! ,4 ed ncl int ‘re, int in- she sex 'ere IOH, /ere she and em. her, ege. fon y hi p of as;1 irhtg that egan reel; with 5 WVO uage. Ither, vouhi aetky child, was a 5 girl, :ondi- s, she BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPAEDIA or AMERICAN WOMEN 65 determined to make herself the equal of men in courage and ability. She became proﬁcient in Mathematics, Latin and Greek. On being graduated from the Academy, she was amazed to ﬁnd that the hope of study at Union College, which she had secretly cherished with the idea of ﬁlling her brother's place, could not be carried out. Her chagrin was intensi- ﬁed by her being sent to Mrs. VVillard ’s Girls’ Seminary at Troy, New York, where, as she records, she spent “two of the dreariest years” of her life. The next seven years she passed at home, reading widely, and under her father's direction devoting special attention to law. In this way she ﬁtted herself to be- come the able opponent of oppressive legis- lation regarding women. In the spring of 184() she married Henry Brewster Stanton, alrezidy well known as a leader and a lecturer in the anti-slavery move- ment. Since Mr. St.Inton a delegate to the World's Anti—Slavery Convention to be held in .London in June of that same year, they went to London on their wedding trip. Mr. Stanton became Secretary of the Conven- tion. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s indignation was stirred anew by the imputation of inferiority cast upon women by the refusal of the majority of the Convention to admit Mrs. Lucretia Mott and other American women who had been regularly appointed delegates. In Mrs. Mott she met for the ﬁrst time a liberal-minded thinker of her own sex. The friendship thus begun continued through forty years, and assisted in determining Mrs. Stanton to devote her life and energies to the social, political and moral betterment of women. For six years following her return home she lived in Boston. During this period she made a thorough study of the position of women. As a result, in addition to the woman 's rights claimed by Mrs. Mott--remunerative work, property rights after marriage, ad- vanced education, and independent judgment in religion-—Mrs. Stanton demanded the removal of woman ’s civil disabilities by mak- ing her political status the same as that of man. In 1846 she located at Seneca Falls, New York. With Mrs. Mott and others, she issued the call for the ﬁrst Woman's Rights Convention. It was held at Seneca Falls,- July 19 and 20, 1848, and marked the in- auguration of the Woman Suffrage movement. Although the object of the Convention was deﬁned to be the discussion of the social, civil, and religious rights of women, no allusion being made to women’s political rights, yet in the declaration of sentiments which was prepared as a basis for discussion Mrs. Stanton introduced as the Ninth Resolution a state- ment that it was “the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred right to the elective franchise.” Neither her husband——~who had prepared for the Con- vention an abstract of the laws that were unjust regarding the property interests of women-——nor Mrs. Mott approved of Mrs. Stanton’s demand for the ballot. They argued that it would only bring “ridicule on the cause.” Mrs. Stanton persisted, however, and spoke vigorously and eloquently at the ﬁrst session in defense of the proposal. The resolution was adopted, though not unani- mously, by the Convention. This new departure in the movement had few adherents outside the convention. In fact, of those members who signed the Declaration of Senti- ments, many later requested to have their names withdrawn. Judge Cady, alarmed at his daughter’s radicalism, hastened to her home, where he urged her earnestly, but in vain, not only to forego her convictions but to abandon public life. From 1848 to the time of the Civil War, Mrs. Stanton devoted herself to the anti- slavery, temperance, education and woman suffrage causes. She was founder and Presi- dent of the New York Woman '3 Temperance Society, in its early years, and Chairman of the Woman Suffrage Committee of her state. As early as 1854, she spoke before the New York Legislature in advocacy of a higher status for women. In 1863 she founded the Women's Loyal League, and was elected its ..,......_.—-..~.—_.-mouq-. .<....--.., ~v-p_--—ac-y.—.....—...,.-.,¢.w...—. * 66 BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN WOMEN President. The classic address from this society to President Lincoln, signed by Mrs. Stanton, came from her trenchant pen. It is printed in full in the History of Woman Suﬁrage. In 1866, believing women to be eligible to public office, she offered herself as a candidate for Congress from the Eighth New York District. In her announcement, she said: “Belonging to a disfranchised class, I have no political antecedents to recommend me to your support, but my creed is free speech, free press, free men and free trade——-the cardinal points of democracy.” She received twenty- four votes. With Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury she established, and was Editor-in-Chief, of the Woman's Rights jour- nal called The Revolution. During the two years of its existence, it was the most vigorous and the most quoted of any suffrage journal ever printed before or since. A The Civil War made the people of the United States think nationally, and leaders of the Woman Suffrage movement naturally adopted still broader lines of thought. The National \Noman Suffrage Association was founded in 1869. Mrs. Stanton was its Presi- dent almost continuously until 1893. At the suggestion of Mrs. Stanton and her co- workers, the Honorable George Julian intro- duced in Congress, on March 15, 1869, a joint resolution proposing a Sixteenth amend- ment to the Constitution. It read as follows: “The right of suffrage in the United States shall be based on citizenship, and shall be regulated by Congress; and all citizens of the United States, whether native or naturalized, shall enjoy this right equally, without any distinction or discrimination whatever founded on sex." From 1870 Mrs. Stanton lectured for twelve years throughout the country, eight months each year. She was one of the most popular speakers who ever appeared under the auspices of any lyceum bureau. To her credit is attributed the liberalizing of divorce laws, the opening of higher institutions of learning to women, and the marked growth in Woman Suffrage senti- ment. Throughout this period, Mrs. Stanton was the Samuel Adams of the woman move- ment, for her pen produced all the “State Papers" issued. She it was who drew up the calls to conventions, the addresses to Legis- latures, the appeals to learned bodies, and she it was, also, who made in person, for nearly fifty years, the chief arguments before con- gressional and legislative committees. In 1878, the annual convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association was held in Washington, District of Columbia. It had been arranged that Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker and Mrs. Lily Devereaux Blake were to conduct the convention, as Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony felt they must continue their speaking tours in the West. Mrs. Stanton had urged upon her co-workers the introduction in Congress of a new resolution calling for a suffrage amendment to the Na- tional Constitution. Between 1869 and 1878 the efforts of the suffragists had largely con- sisted of appeals to courts for interpretations in favor of the enfranchisement of women under the Constitution as it stood. After a meeting in St. Louis, about this time, Mrs. Stanton received a telegram saying that it was imperative that she come to the National Capital and carry out her proposals. She immediately went to Washington and, before both the National Woman Suffrage Conven- tion and the Judiciary Committees of Con- gress, made a plea for a suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution. She persuaded her old friend, Senator Sargent, of California, to introduce the Amendment. This was the ﬁrst time a suffrage amendment had been introduced, the same in form as the Nineteenth Amendment, adopted in 1920. During the years of reconstruction, she and other suffrage leaders had systematically made every effort to amend the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments when they were under consideration by Congress. Their endeavors to influence this legislation in the interest of women, however, met with no 2 \ :3}, .. 3 >1 ,1 i. .« 2 i as It l 61' ere ton iue Irs. the ion Pia- 878 :on- ions . en .fter Wrs.

She never laid claim to having “drawn” these amendments. In 1878, as in the later efforts of the suffragists for a national amendment, the Fifteenth Amendment, securing suffrage for colored men, was copied except that the phrase “race, color, or previous condition of servitude” merely gave place to the word “sex.” Although Mrs. Stanton never af- firmed that the wording of the suffrage amendment was other than a copy of the Fifteenth Amendment, it may be claimed for Mrs. Stanton that to her is due the credit of first demanding the passage of a VVoman Suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution, and of carrying out the prac- tical details of its introduction in Congress. In 1888 Mrs. Stanton suggested the forma- tion of the Interna.tional Council of \Vomen. Her suggestion was acted upon, and she pre- sided over the ﬁrst convention. From 1880 to 1886 she devoted her time to the colossal labor of bringing out the first three volumes of the History of VI/oman Suﬂrage. Her co-editors were Miss Anthony and Mrs. Gage. This work was followed by The Woman's Bible, which caused more newspaper comment than any other work fromher pen. In 1897, her reminiscences were published under the title I Eighty Years and Illore. During the closing years of her life she was adding to and re- writing these memoirs. This work, together with her Letters and Diary, edited by her son, Theodore Stanton, and her daughter, Harriot Stanton Blatch, was published in 1921 by Harper and Brothers. Mrs. Stanton con- tributed many articles to the Forum, the Arena, the Westminster Review, and the North American Review. She was also a constant writer for reform papers and for the daily press. The day she died there appeared in the New York American an article which she had written twenty-four hours earlier, and on her writing desk ready for her signature lay open letters to President and Mrs. Roosevelt urging that a recom- mendation for the consideration of VVoman Suffrage be put in the President's then forth- coming message to Congress. It may be said of her that when she died, on October 26, 1902, she was in the full vigor of her powers. Her ready wit and broad nature, her sympathy with the oppressed, her scorn of wrong, her catholicity of spirit, her love of justice and liberty, her intellectual ability, moral courage, and physical energy, together with her unusual opportunities in youth for wide and sound culture, gave Mrs. Stanton a unique place in the history of American women. It may be recalled, in evidence of the universal esteem in which she was held, that all the great na- tional organizations of women united in doing her honor at a meeting in the New York Metropolitan Opera House on the occasion of her eightieth birthday, and that the centenary of her birth was celebrated in New York City, in 1915, at the largest banquet ever held to do honor to the memory of a citizen of the United States. t 3 I 5

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and The Federal Amendment. a By her daughter Margaret Stanton Lawrence. For many years the National Woman Suffrage Association, of which Mrs. Stanton was President-for over twenty~five years, frequently held its annual Convention in Washington, D. C. On January 10, 187% the Federal Amendment for Woman Suffrage, in exactly its present form, was introduced in the Senate of the United States by Senator Aaron A. Sargent of California. My mother was the guest of Senator and Mrs. Sargent, and together they arranged the affair. Miss Susan B. Anthony was travelling in the far west at this time. S ' On the following day, January 11, hrs. Stanton made one of her best and most logical speeches before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, urging the passage of this Amendment to the Federal Constitution, ~ which would thus, by a stroke of the pen, emancipate the women of the Nation. This did not take place, alas, till forty~ two years later} The National Woman Suffrage Association was holding its annual Convention in Washington, at this same date Jan. lS78. And Mrs. Stanton in her opening address brought forward, for the first time, before that body of her coadjutors the demand for a Segarate Amendment to the Constitution of the United States dealing with of Woman, pp 34%-355. woman suffrage. Up to this time efforts, in the interest of women, had been concentrated in endeavors to change the 14th & 15th Amend- ments as they passed through Congress. Mrs. Stanton's eloquent speech on the "l6th Amendment" may be read in Volume II of The History The Wording of Senator Sargent's Amendment. The wording of the Amendment introduced by Senator Sargent,at Mrs. Stanton's request in 1878, is exactly like that of the “XIX Amend» ment,“ which was proclaimed by the Sec. bf State of, the United States, as carried Aug. 20, 1920. S S How the XIX Anendent Reads. . Article XIX. 1. .The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied, or abridged, by the United States, or by any state on account of sex. 2. Congress shall have power, by appropriate legislation, to enﬁerce the provisions of this article. The History of Woman Suffrage. The History of Woman Suffrage Consists of three large volumes; let me make a few words of explanation about these huge tomes. v I don't know whether they are in the Seneca Falls Library or not. If not, I an sorry for they are worth perusing. They are in most of the big libraries of the United States and on the shelves of many in Europe, having been presented as gifts from my mother and Miss Anthony. In the early eighties, my mother, in connection with Miss Anthony and Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, of Syracuse, edited and largely wrote the first volume of The History of Woman Suffrage. It contained 871 pages, the print and paper are good, it has handsome engravings of the distinguished women in the suffrage movement, and is nicely bound. _ This was followed later on by two more large volumes. Speaking of the three volumes as they came from the press, mother says, that she, "Welcomed Vol.1 with the same feelings of love and tenderness as she did her first~born child.“ It was reviewed by the newspapers all over the United States and England with far more praise than criticism", says Mrs. Stanton. Mother speaks of these large volumes somewhere in her writings, not so much as books to be read through, by the average reader, but as arsenals of facts for the future historian of the Woman Suffrage Movement. A fourth volume was gotten out, after my mother's death, edited by Ida Husted Harper, bringing the suffrage history down to a late date. Converting A United States Senator. Now one from the State of California was brought into the Suffrage Ranks. I was relating what follows to a friend one evening, she was so interested that she begged me to write it out for publication. I did so, and here it is. I heard it from the lips of the Senator and his wife during one of my visits, with mother, at their hospitable fireside. The Sargent family had just arrived in Washington, Father, mother and three lovely children, two girls and a boy. The Senator was a strikingly handsome man, a good talker and forces ful speaker. He had white hair, big, laughing blue eyes, rosey cheeks and very handsome teeth. Was straight and muscular, held his head and -3... chest up, and commanded attention at once. His wife, on the contrary, was a demure little body, inconspicuous in looks, and never had much to say, especially in public. She was a great reader, however, and well informed in many topics, she “did” things quietly, but when she did speak it was right to the point. i One evening, soon after the Sargents arrived in Washington, this was before 1878 - they were attending one of their first big dinner» parties at one of the renowned homes of that city. Many distinguished Senators and their wives were present. The subject of Woman Suffrage came up for discussion. host of what had been said was in opposition to the cause. Senator Sargent had spoken very emphatically against it. Suddenly the gentleman, who had escorted Mrs. Sargent out to dinner, talked to her and said, "What do you think on this subject, Madame, you haven't said anything?" y I have often heard the Senator, his wife, and mother laugh over this experience during my visits there. Mrs. Sargent being thus challenged spoke up and gave a good account of why she believed in Votes for Women. She quoted her authorities, and altogether made such a deep impression on her hearers that amny of those present decided, from that moment, to look into the subject. Her husband rubbed his eyes and said to himself, “Is this the woman who has lived so long by my side, whom I have loved and cherished? Why have I never before known how she felt?” He was furious at her for it was not fashionable then to believe in Woman Suffrage. They had just begun their Washington career. He thought her advocacy of this unpopular cause would cost a veil over their social standing. They had always been a most devoted couple, their home life had been ideal, and now to have this spectre come up between them, at this important time of their lives, made the Senator mad and disgusted. He was usually a most reasonable being. When it came time to go home he said; "Ellen, since you believe in woman's right to do and dare you may go home alone," turned on his heels and walked off. i “Very well, Aaron," said our little heroine, “I have my key, so I can get in the house.“ She said she never felt so sad in her life, but she just had to speak out her convictions when challenged to do so, even if it did cause a break between her and her husband. When she reached home she drew the chairs before the big fireplace, poked up the fire, three on some light wood, added a log or two, and sat down to await the arrival of her leige lord. Soon he appeared, and when he saw the cheerful blaze, the enpty chair beside his wife, and was greeted with, "Come and sit down, Aaron, I want to talk to you,” and this, in the kindest, sweetest tones possible, he was won over. His snger slipped from his finger tips. "ih, Ellen!“ he said, “I sm ashamed of the way I spoke to you, but I want you to know that I walked along on the other side of the street, s little back of you, to see that no harm osme to you.“ "I know you did, Aaron,“ she said, es he patted her on the head and took her hand and kissed it. "I saw you out of the tail of my eye.” Then they set and talked far into the night on the subject that lay nearest her heart, end it was agreed that every morning as he shaved she would read some book aloud to him on the subject of women suffrage. So the next day they started on John Stuart Mills ‘"Snbjeotion of Women.“ A The Senator had such an open mind that before the book was finished he was thoroughly converted to the belief in the ballot for women, and was ever after one of our greatest champions in the Senate of the United States.

T Marriage end The chsptercgn Msrrisge and Divorce, in my Eiiﬂlﬁév motheris hook, Eighty years and More, oonsider one of the finest in the volume and am sorry sll my readers cannot peruse it. i » So hitter was the opposition to divorce in 1861, for eny cause; that but few dared to tens part in its discussion. She was the only Women for many years, WHO Wrote or spoke on tne question. A very lioerei oiil Ior divorce hsd been carried by s lsrge majority in Indiana in 1860. A similar bill was introduced 49 in the Legislature of New York soon after. While the New York bill was pending Mrs. Stanton was requested by Lewis Benedict one or the Committee who had the bill in charge, to address the Legislature on Divorce. ‘Her feelings had been stirred to their eepths in early life by the sufferings of a deer friend, at whose wedding she had been e bridesmaid. In listening to the feats of her oese, she was converted to the wisdom of liberal divorce lees. So she gledly eeoepted the invitation to ederees the Legislature on the subject.’ She thought here was en OppQr* tunity to supnort her friend in the step she had taken, and to make the peth oleer for other unheppy wives who wished to do likewise; She made a brilliant and forcible ergument for the bill, and it was lost by only four votes. But she hed no idea f the persecution she was drawing, down on her head. She says, "I Wes always oouregious in saying what I saw to be true, for the simnle reason I never dreamed of opposition. What seemed to me to be right, I thought must be equally plain to all other retionsltheings." Whet she said oi divorce, over half a century ago, is ﬁ§y%%% quite in line with What many say now,» the trouble was not shat she said, but that she seie it too soon. The Rev. Ferny Grant made some remerks on libereli eivoroe the other day, and was promptly denounoeﬁ by Everett P. Wheeler and various clergy in the ssme lenguege that was uses against my mother fifty years ago. Some people never seem to live in the present, but ever in the pest. Women were always nouring into my motheres ears the story of their sorrows, hence when she decided that divorce was a 50 legitimate subject to be discussed on the Woman Suffrage Plat~ form at a convention being held in New York City, it met with great opposition. But Miss Anthony stood by hergarrayed against them were Wendell Phillips, and his many followers. Mother and Susan carried the day; however, ably assisted by William Lloyd Garrison and the Rev. Antoinette L. Brown, and the convention, at its final vote, sustained them. In her book she says,"Sc alarming were the comments in the Metropolitan Press on that had been said that I began to feel that I had inadverte. ently taken out the underpinning from the whole social system?“ Her definition of marriage is so beautiful that I cannot refrain from giving it to you:"Before we can decidéfthe just grounds for divorce,we must get a clear idea of what cone stitutes marriage. In a true relation the chief object is the loving companionship of man and woman, their capacity for mutual help and happiness, and for the development of all that is noblest in each other. The second object is the building up of the home and family, a place of rest, peace, security, in which child-life can bud and blossom like flowers in the sunshine.“ Shecgoses her chapter with these aords,“No, no; the enemy of marriage, of the State, of Society is not liberal divorce laws, but the unlealthy atmosphere that exists in the home itself. A legislative act cannot make a unit of a divided 0 a My mother and the clery. ‘My mother always had many friends among the clery; they seemed to delight having an argument with her on the sphere of woman. Among'henwarmest friends in Seneca Falls _ O“ were the Episcopal clergyman. and his family, the girls of hgst ‘A x 51 household and the boys of here; were devoted to each other. At this time the laying of the first Atlantic Gables was under idiscuesion, the Rev. Mr. G. ardently maintaining that it could never be done, while Mrs. Stanton as positively maintained that it could; The tenor of her argument showing so clearly the attitude of mind she held on all new ideas. She said,“Whatever \ the human mind can conceive, cankmicarried out. My dear Mr. G. \\ you just wait and see." ‘ i N During her lifetime she rode on the first railroad, P she crossed the ocean on one of the first steamships, she saw E 5 the first Atlantic Gaels laid and successful. She saw the rirso telegraph, telephone, tricycle, bicycle, auto~mobile, air-ship, phonograph, etc. etc. She first started the agitation? of Votes for Women, heloed open the Colleges for girls, helped to get the laws changed so that married women could own property, iwas the first Woman to speak before the legislature; was the first woman to advocate divorce; was the first to urge that medical colleges, theological seminaries and law schools should be opened to her sex; for a long time she was one of the trustees of a medical college for women in New York City, and did a great deal toward getting the hospitals open so that the women students could study at the bedside of the sick,- and so I might go on enumerating the many sides of this clever woman and during all this time she was raising a large family of children, was a devoted mother and a fine housekeeper.s I take off my hat to Elizabeth csay~stanthn when I think of all the good things she did for humanity from almost the day‘ of her birth to the day of her death. One day a distinguished Bishop of the diocese of Western New York was calling on my mother; he was an anti; and holding forth on the disabilities of women as a bar to their having the ballot. ‘“Why Bishop,“_Mother remarked," I didnit know that we had any disabilities, pray mention theme“. "Welle“ heeaid¥"surely motherhood ie a disability.” “en the contrary,‘ Bishop,” quickly answered hrs. Stanton,"motherhood is an added glory. It is something that you men oannot do, give birth to an immortal soul. If it beta disability why does the church celebrate the Magnifioat every Sabbath morning, the whole world round?"

These startling events roused the entire nation, and ' the patriotism of women shone forth es fervently as did that .5‘ CL man. In 1868 We moved to New York City. My mother and Miss Anthony founded the Womenls Loyal Leegue, which voiced the Solemn lessons of the War: "Liberty to all; netionel protection for every citizen under our flag; universal suffrage and universal amnesty.“ They advocsted the immediate emancipation end en; frenohisement of the Southern Slaves, as the most speedy wgy of ending thewer, urging Congress to so emend the Constitution as to prohibit the existence of slavery in the United States. This league did agreet educational work as letters re- ceived from generals, statesmen, editors and many women fully endorsing its actions and principles show. It was formed after consultation with_Horece Greeley, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Governor Andrews end many other prominent people. i A They held a large meeting on May 14, in Dr. Gheever*s_ church.

Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. ysnthony sere invited, among other Eastern people,to go out and make a campaign through the state. Votes for colored men was a Republican measure which the men of that party ens the press sﬁw voostedwith enthusiasm. Votes for Women was not a party measure but the wives and daughters of that fer Western Stete hoped that ‘ell psrties would favor it, and sent into the Campaign with greet fervor.

My mother often described those exw periences to us,w no food fit to set, trying to sleep in all sorts of impossible beds, speaking in log cabins} unfinished school houses, barns, depots, the open air. One night she spoke in e mill with one tsllos candle over her heed and a few lanterns here end there i smong the audience. She said all she could see of her hearers was the whites of their eyes! But the enthusiasm and earnestness of the people, she said, made up for all the discomforts she suffered; they often drove twenty or thirty miles to heer her speak. Her nsme was known ell over the oountry even in those esrly days. She was see compsnied byEx~Gov. Robinson; they ﬁrove in a low cerriege, with s 57 span of mules. All their belongings were stored away under the seat or fastened behind them. Among other things they carried was a quantity of tracts, to scatter among the people; also some food, as often they didn’t reach any place where they could get meals, or wheﬁenthey did they couldnlt eat them. So they took, “apples, nuts; crackere; dried herring; gum arabic and slippery elmi" They were told the last article- was very nutri~ tious. I donlt know what the food experts of to~day would say f that dietary. iFor three months they labored diligently, day after dayg enduring all manner of hardships in travelling, eating, and sleeping; they went to the very verge; of civilization and got a good idea of pioneer life. As there eere no roads or guide posts; they often lost their way. In going through canons or fording streams it was often so dark that the Governor woulﬁ : walk aheadg taking off his coat so that mother could see his white shirt and know where to drive? A A One night they eaw a light afar~off on the prairie and thought theyld see if they could find a shelter for the night. On arriving they were given a hearty Welcome, the place coneistedp i +fof one large room, not yet lathed or plastered; where lived me ﬁt; ‘corners, a cork stove in the third corner and a table in the spinster sisters and two bachelor brothers with beds in two l‘fourth.

The brothers offered their bed to mother and said they and the Governor could sleep on the floor; so the masculine elementi Went out and gazed at the stars, while the feminine part prepared 58 to seek their downy I?) couches. Whenihe men eeme in they spread some blenkets and skins on the floor end leid themselves down. My mother had a horror of mice, and when all was dsrk‘end still, she suddenly gave s little scream. A sleepy voice from one of the sisters.“ seid3i”Whet is the matter, Mrs. Stsnton, erenit you oomforteble?? "Oh. Ywe-s," she replied,“only I thought I felt a mouse run over my hesd."‘ “Well,” said the voioe,“I should not wonder if you did, the pest I heerd such a squeeking in that corner y\few dsys thet I told sister I thought there must be a mouse nest in that bed,“e eon» fession she probably would not have made, hsd she not been half esleep, This announcement was greeted with suppressed laughter from the floor. But as there was no easy chair in which she could sit up and sleep, and as no one offered to seeroh for the nest of mice, mother summoned all the philosophy in her mekeeup, and es she was deed~tired, she soon fell asleep, and never knew whether the mice held high counsel or not. This was a sample of whet they had to endure for three months; she says, “We frequently set down to e table with beoon fleeting in grease, coffee without milk, sweetened with sorghum, end hot biscuit greeﬁhith soda, while vegetables and fruit were rarely seen...

During the War the Republicans and the Abolitionists \N h“urged the Women not only to keep silent about their claim to the bollot, till the negro was set free, but to work for his freedom from slavery, then they promised they would help the Women get the vote.

A The propositicne to give the white women and the black man the vote in Kansas were lost. However, women learned an im- portant lesson, my Mother says," Namely, that it is impossible for the best of men to understood women's feelings or the humiliation Q of their position.” ‘ ‘ h ‘ But the seed sown then on those far off prairies has come up and borne fruit for the women of Kansas now enjoy the w Vote} When theygot back to their native state, New York, Mother and Susan found there was a proposition before the voters to E take the Word."§§;;gf out of the oonstitution.

Stanton and Miss. , Anthony established a newspaper in New York City, called The Revolution. Miss Anthony was the Publisher, hrs. Stanton and Parker Pillsbury, the Editors.

"I am”, she said graciously. “Well, do you know," he went on, " that I agreed to pay $20.00. to have that bread powder advertised for one month,and you oome out and condemn it on your editorial page?” "I have nothing to do eith the advertising," she replied, ” Miss Anthony pays me to say what I think about things.” “Have you any more thoughts to publish on that bread powder of mine?" he asked. "Oh yes," she answered. " I have not nearly exhausted the subject yet." “Then,” said he, ”I‘ll have the advertisement taken out. What is there to pay for that one insertion?“ "Ohi" nothing," she said, "as the editorial probably did far more harm than the advertisement did for good." J “On leaving with prophetic vision, “ my Mother remarks, he said, ” I srophesy a short life for this paper; the business world is based on quaekery, and you eannot live without it.” With meleneholy certainty she replied; " I fear you are right." '$*=?‘**‘=§¢*=!<$=%<*f%=**>!<>!!?€¢* vu» For the next twelve years of my Mother's eventful life she travelled from Maine to Galiformia, from New LEOTURERS. York to Texas, lecturing for eight monthd of the year. Her children were all grown, her capable quaker housekeeper was still 64 with her, so the t all things moved along smoothly at home during ; her absence. Several of us children were ta College,she and father felt the strain on their financial resources in meeting our large educational bills, hence she wanted to do her share in bearing the burddn. The Lyceum Bureau was at this time one of the great features in American life. The three leading bureaus were in Boston , %/ New York, Chicago, Many of the distinguished men and Women of both this and foreign countries were constantly on the wing giving of their best to the large audiences that assembled all over the nation. "As the managers of the bureaus had ten per cent of what the speaker made, it was to their interest to keep the time well filled." Hence the engagements were made without the slightest reference to the comfort of the travelers. Owing to the immense distances in this country it was often necessary to travel night and day; the lectureMafre- >5qusntly being obliged to go from train to lecture hall, with no time to get, anything to eat or change their raiments. In those early days the fees were from one to two, three and sometimes five hundred dollars a night. Hence the speakers, likewise, were desirous of accomplishing as much as possible} She and Miss Anthony,froa having been tee of the most 5 persecuted women of the nation, soon became two of the most popular 5 lecturers of their day. Mrs. Stanton ass in great demand all over the country, she felt that it was a rare opportunity for spreading a knowledge of the Cause, dearest to her heart, before large aud- iences. She began her Lyceum lectures in 1869. The speech that she was most called in to give was "Our Girls,"_ The history of” that speech is rather interesting; sometime before she began her 65 her public lectures, she was asked to make the commencement day address before a girls’ school in Nyaok, N.Y. Kept by an old friend of here, she wanted to decline, but father urged her to prepare some kind of an informal discourse, and go up and deliver it, so she wrote What afterward enlarged and elaborated,besame her most popular speech: Our Girls. From this speech alone she made between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars. She had a wonder- fully sweet, powerful, persuasive voice, a keen sense of humor, ooupu led with logic, earnestness and pathos. Her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatoh, who is a most forceful speaker, and clever presiding officer, inherits many of her Mother's talents. Mrs. Stanton could sway her audiences at her will. She had a long list of lectures before she finished, and she spoke in many towns and cities for years in succession. She had several addresses for women alone on Motherhood , care of habies, dress and hygiene, these she gave in the afternoons, in the places when she remained a day or two. She also had several sermons on the famous semen of the Bible, which she gave in the churches ,shen she staid over Sunday. She spoke before the inmates of blind asylums, to the deaf and dunb, to the men in the prisons, in various states, to the students in the colleges; she was ever ready for any call that was made unon her, , The tales of sorrow and woe that were poured into her ears by the men and women of this nation gave her an insight into nature that enabled her to see things in their true light. Somew times she was detained in a place for days by floods or storms, then the people had her speak every night: That was the heyday of the lecture period, a long list 0? bright men and Women were constantly on the go; Anna Dickinp son, Olive Logan, Kate Field and later Mary Livermore and Julia Ward Howe, Alcott, Phillips, Douglass, Tilton, Henry Ward Beecher, and several years later General Kilpatriok, with Charles Bradlaugh and hqthea/arnold from England. Some of them would oocasionally manage to meet and spend Sunday together in a good hotel in a city, to rest, to feast gand talk over their joys and sorrows, compare notes on the awful food and beds they encountered. After graduating from Vassar College, I travelled with my Mother one winter on one of her lecturing trips in the far West and learned to appreciate the many hardships she endured. We thus summed up whether we preferred to accept an invitation to a orivate house, or go to an hotel in some little village. ”hother," I'd say, "shall We be clean, cold and hard, or dirty, soft and warm?" ewe found the spare rooms almost every» where very clean, beds as hard as brick bats, with no Way of heating them: the hotels were dirty, beds soft, and the rooms they gave us had stoves in them. 4 often when Mother stayed in private houses, her little hostesses did their own eork, then, as it would be an epoch in their lives to have her asia guest, they'd invite a large table full of relatives and friends to come in for the oeoasion. She was often asked to say grace, at first she refused, then she says, "In my travels, through the west I often saw weary, wizen little wives, com» ing to the table after most exhausting labors; and bumptioue hus- bands, spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals 67 the deer women had prepared, as if, the whole csme down like manna from Heaven. So I preached e sermon in the_blessing I was often invited to give, as follows: "Heavenly Father and Mother, make us thankful for all the blessings of this life, and make us ever mindful of the patient hands that oft in weeriness spread our tables end prepare our daily food, for Humanity’s sake, Amen.” When she had finished and all had raised their heads she noticed whet astonished glances were exchanged among those gstherw ed dnut the table, how pleased the hostess looked, how high she held her head and chest. After dinner was over many came and asked where she got that grace, saying they had never heard anything like it. Would she Write it in their autograph albums. Seyeral ladies had it framed snd hung in their dining—rooms and to this day I as con stently making copies of it for people's houses. Those of my readers who ever sew Mrs. dtenton will reu member her crown of wonderful white curls and her remarkably beauti- rful teeth. On one of her lecturing trips she was in Lincoln, Reb- 3 reeks, the legislature was in session and her engagements were such, thetshe was to remain in town the day following. Many of the leg- islators had heard her speak, in the largest church in town which was jammed to the doors, and after the meeting was over these men gathered about her and asked if they could cell on her at her hotel the next morning and diseues the subject of Women Suffrage with her. There waste large number of them present,smong them some of the leading judges and lawyers of the state, finally one white~heired jurist said, "Mrs. Stanton, I am most anxious_to keep my mind on what you ere saying, but I can't till I ask you two 68 queetione.

Mrs. Mott ene hrs, Stanton, sitting in the railed—off space assigned to women, had listened to e long debate on the question of admitting women as members of the convention. They had heard, the last thing before adjournment, the overwhehming chorus of “noes” that barred women out.

Published on the 100th Anniversary of the day that 4 ex.-Quart eat, gfaafoa submitted the first resolution in the world demanding the Elective Franchise for Women Seneca Falls, N. Y., July 19, 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in Johnstown, New York, on No- vember l2th, 1815. Her family was wealthy, judged by contempo- rary standards, and she could have lead a life of ease and luxury, but the seed of divine discontent was A within her. The sad lot of most women penetrated her soul at an early age, and she chose, instead, a life of continual work, hardship and battle. She had to contend with op- position within the family, also. Her determination to speak in public, and her stand for the enfranchisement of her sex caused her father to disin- herit her. Yet she was never hitter , and her dignity, humour, unbounded health and energy carried her through the ocean of ridicule, frus- trations, prejudice and intolerance to the ripe age of 86 years. She was ageless, , and could en- _ thrall my English and French cous- ins and me with stories of her youth as easily as she could move a vast audience with her oratory and logic. Her lectures and writings covered the whole ﬁeld of human progress———— “Motherhood”, “Sex”, “Our Boys”, “Our Girls”, °‘Woman Suffrage”, “Dress Reform ”, “Woman, the Church and the Bible”. She was a diligent Greek scholar and a great student of the Bible. She inveighed against the degraded position accord- ed to women by the orthodox churches of her generation. She was a Unitarian, and a firm believer in the brotherhood of man and the right to political and economic equal- ity of all human beings regardless of color or sex or race. Seneca Falls was her home for 16 years from 1847. The little town seethed with activity from the day she set her foot there, and on July 19 and 20,1848, the long-discussed plans of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott to hold a Woman’s Rights Convention were realized. One hundred well-known men and women attended and signed the “Declaration of Sentiments”, but it was Mrs. Stanton who moved the reso- lution that women should be granted the elective franchise, a motion sec- onded by Frederick Douglass. A storm of protest arose, but the motion was carried by a small margin. Over the cries of ridicule and denunciation heaped on the Convention and its sponsors by pulpit and press arose the clarion voice of Wendell Phillips. ————“This is the inauguration of the most momentous reform yet launched upon the world, the first organized protest against the injus- tice that has brooded for ages over the character and destiny of half the human race”————, and Frederick Doug- lass in “Lone Star” and Horace Gree- ley in New York Tribune published the only editorials in praise of the Convention and its objectives. Often reformers of one generation _ become the conservatives of the next. , Thiswas not true of Mrs. Stanton. She wrote a letter which was read at the celebration of the 50th anniver- sary of the 1848 Convention, which ended as follows: “. . . My message today to our coadju- tors is that we have a higher duty than the demand for suffrage. We must now, at the end of fifty years of faithful ser- vice, broaden our platform and consider the next step in progress, to which the signs of the times clearly point,———name- ly, co-operation, a new principle in in- dustrial economics. We see that the right of suffrage avails nothing for the masses in competition with the wealthy classes, and worse still, with each other. “Women all over the country are working earnestly in many fragmentary reforms, each believing that her own, if achieved, would usher in a new day of peace and plenty. With woman suf- frage, temperance, social parity, rigid Sunday laws and physical culture, could any, or all, be successful, we should see changes in the condition of the masses. We need all these reforms and many more to make existence endurable. What is life today to the prisoner in his cell, to the feeble hands that keep time with machinery in all our marts of trade, to those that have no abiding place, no title to one foot of land on this green earth? Such are the fruits of competi- tion. Our next experiment is to be made on the broad principle of co-operation. At the end of fifty years, whose achieve- ments we celebrate here today, let us reason together as to the wisdom of lay- ing some new plank in our platform. “The co-operative idea will remodel codes and constitutions, creeds and cat- echisms, social customs and convention- alism, the curriculum of schools and colleges. It will give a new sense of jus- tice, liberty and equality in all the re- lations of life. Those who have eyes to see recognize the fact that the period for all the fragmentary reforms is ended. “Agitation of the broader questions of philosophical Socialism is now in order. This next step in progress has been fore- shadowed by our own seers and prophets, and is now being agitated by all the thinkers and writers of all civilized coun- tries. “The few have no right to the luxuries of life, while the many are denied its necessities. This motto is the natural out- growth of the one so familiar on our platform and our official paper, ‘Equal Rights for All’. It is impossible to have ‘equal rights for all’ under our present competitive system. ‘All men are born free, with an equal right to life, liberty and happiness’. The natural outgrowth of this sentiment is the vital principles of the Christian religion. ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. In broad, liberal principles, the suffrage association should be the leader of thought for wom- en, and not narrow its platform, from ‘year to year, to one idea, rejecting all relative ideas as side issues. “Progress is the victory of a new thought over old superstitions!” If she were living today, she would no doubt be a champion of civil rights and just as many unpopular causes as in 1848. She would be de- manding the full emancipation of woman and equality of rights under law, inveighing against intolerance and bigotry, imperialism and monop- oly, and championing the rights of the common man throughout the world. Until 1900, she held, the pre-emi- nent position in the feminist move- ment, not only in her own country but throughout Europe too. During the last years of her life, she was uni- versally known as “The Grand Old Woman of America”. Some of the high lights of her long life were: In 1848, was the principal organ- izer of the ﬁrst Woman’s Rights Con- vention, and moved the woman suf- frage resolution. In 1854, the ﬁrst woman to ad- dress the New York legislature from the speaker’s rostrum. She was president of New York State -Woman Suffrage Society in 1854. She helped form the ﬁrst National organization for woman’s rights—— The National Woman’s Suﬁrage As- sociation, and was its president from its inception almost continuously for 20 years (1869-1890). When later the American Woman Suffrage Association merged with the National Woman’s Suffrage Associa- tion to become the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage Association, she was elected president. She made the principal address at the great Cooper Union mass meet- ing in 1861, calling on Lincoln to free women as well as the Negro, and enfranchise both. She ran for Congress in New York State in 1866. In 1869, when the family ﬁnances were at a low ebb and the education of the ﬁve younger children in jeop- ardy, she registered with the Lyceum hureau, and toured the country from Maine to Texas on the famous Or- pheum Circuit, earning from $100.00 to $200.00 per lecture. She did not stop this arduous work until Bob, her youngest, was graduated from Cornell University in 1881. She and Packer Pillsbury edited the periodical, “The Revolution,” from 1868 to 1871. She made the principal address when the W7oman Suffrage Amend- ment was ﬁrst introduced in Congress in 1878. She wrote her coworker, Su- san B. Anthony, who was lecturing in the West, an account of it. This amendment was identical with that ﬁnally passed in 1919 as the 19th Amendment (sometimes erroneously named the Susan B. Anthony Amend- ment). s The three ﬁrst volumes of the “His- tory of Woman Suffrage” early edi- tions, bear the legend, “Edited by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda, .1 oslyn, Gage.” She initiated the International A Woman Suffrage Committee in 1882, in England. On her 80th birthday in 1895, there was a huge celebration at the Metropolitan Opera House of New York City, with memorials and pres- ents from every state, anddmany from abroad. In the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, there stands a large goblet presented to her by the Wom- an Suffrage League on which is en- graved, “Defeated Day by Day, but unto Victory Born”. The reforms she advocated and for which she was ridiculed have largely come to pass: Higher education for women; won1an’s political enfranchisement; dress reform; short skirts; the aban- donment of corsets; the abandonment of swaddling clothes and tight ban- dages for babies; the abandonment of seclusion for women during preg- nancy; getting up soon after child- birth, and continuing one’s duties; liberal divorce laws; a single stand- ard of morals; equal guardianship; property rights, etc. But some of her demands of 1848 still remain unaccomplished, as for instance, complete emancipation of women so that they may have equal- ity of rights under the law, and the full protection of the Constitution. And with all this public activity, she bore and reared seven children, ﬁve boys and two girls. There is a letter from an admirer of hers, my grandfather, writing from Washington, January 16, 1857, to my aunt Margaret Livingston Stanton, then ﬁve years old. He said: “Tell your mother that I have seen a throng of handsome ladies, but that I had rather see her than the whole of them :————hut I intend to cut her acquaintance unless she writes me a letter.” My memories of my Queenmother, as all of us grandchildren called her, are of a delightful person to live with and play with. Backgammon, chess and checkers were our almost night- ly amusement. I have memories of men and women, colored and white, of high and low estate, seeking her counsel and advice. The mornings she spent writing endless letters and articles. During those years, 1897 to 1902, she wrote her autobiography, “Eighty Years and More”, and also “The Woman’s Bible” (her delight- ful commentaries on the women characters of the Bible and her inter- pretations) . Indefatigable to the end, the day before she died, she wrote a letter to Theodore Roosevelt urging him to include sponsoring woman sulirage in his inaugural address. A great writer, author, feminist, philosopher, orator and reformer, friend of Phillips, Douglass, Carri- son, Greeley, Whittier, the Brights and McLarens and feminists through- out the world, passed on into history the 26th day of October, 1902. The author lived with her during the last years of her life, at 26 West 61 st Street and 250 West 94th Street, New York City. Additional copies can be obtained by writing Box 436, Greenwich, Conn. Price 25 cents, postage paid.

In July, 1848, history records the first movement among women for the discussion of their political, religious and social wrongs. Since then the demand for the right of suffrage has extended over many countries and has been granted, in one form or another, in the United States, in England and her colonies, in Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man and New South Wales. I Tax-paying women have voted by proxy in several nations of the Old World for many years. In the long history of woman's srongs there never has been so favorable a time to demand her complete emancipation in the United States as now, for we have for the first time in this Republic a President who has declared himself in favor of woman‘s political equality. When President Roosevelt was Governor of New York he recommended the enfranchisement of the women of the State in his message to the New York Legislature, and expressed the same opinion on several public occasions. Now is the opportune time for leading women to ask the President to make the same demand in his coming Message to Congress for this act of justice to thirty~six million American citizens new defrauded of their most sacred right, one that underlies all others, a voice in the laws. For, as the Fathers said long ago: “No just government can be formed without the consent of the governedg“ & In a speech made by the President at Fitchbnrg on Labor Day, he said that he was “in favor of an amendment to the Constitution of the the United States, conferring ndditionel power upon the feﬁerel government to deal with corporations." To control end restrain giant monopolies for the best interests of all the people is of vast import, but of far vaster importance is the establishment and protection of the rights end liberties of one half the people of the United States ~« the most moral half, too ~ namely, women. Surely there is no greater monopoly than that of ell men in denying to all women a voice in the laws they ere oomoelled to obeye Qotober 203 1902. Elisabeth Gndy Stanton. Note: This is a copy of the appeal written & prepared for mailing to the press by Mrs. Stanton e few days before her death. October 26, 1902.

And now that I desire to write and judging from your last letter to Cate that a line now and then from a friend would give you pleasure, now that you are enjoying the quiet of Peterboro ~ I think that the right time has arrived, and I commence, after this lengthy exposition, my epistle by saying that Gate and I are at home enjoying lthe solitude of Johnstown, and that a messenger of yours visited these parts about a fortnight since and by its quaintness ruffled our placid faces with something like a smile. It told us many things of you, not in themselves amnsing,but made so by the style of description. It said among other things that “you were more happy than when asleep than awake."- How can that be so? How can you judge of your happiness when asleep or eompare it with what you feel when consciousness returns. I have thought & thought for a reason why you should enjoy a greater amount of happiness in sleep than awake, and no good one can I find. However the natural inference to be drawn frmm such a declaration is that the fair one must be in a situation common to renantic girls of seventeen. Girls of that age often sleep and often still they dream of some friend - some lover ~ perchanee a Greek loveru a Cavasilus*~ this nakes sleep sweet - far better is it not dear Lissy that to sigh for his return by day? I learned from that messenger that your phylosphy had not yet enabled you to conbat that hydraheaded monstercalled Blues shosever I prophysy that his overthrow is at hand. *Have your weapoEE"iE+order and I too will make mine ready and when I visit Peterboro (whioh.wil1 be soon) by our united efforts, we will compel to depart from the breast of an unsophisticated country girl and seek companionship (in some more gloomy abode) with the heartless deceiyers, the gay coquette, the roue,the blazze, &c. iHin.who had so long tormented you. I look forward to a visit at your #1 father's house with a deal of pleasure. If Ioan getthere I will stay a months I reeeived the paper you sentne and I agree with the writer of that article or exercise. I ave something to say to Mag and I must say adieu although I have in truth.much.more to say to you. Cate will ansser‘your letter soon. William is here now. Write to me dear Lizzy as soon as you desire ~ love to all e ‘Is is Your cousin? L1b. address — Miss Elizabeth Smith l Care of Gerrit Smith Esq. Peterbero I N.Y. V \ ~'( 1 A9‘ ‘ I. » ,-' ‘I ‘ l " H '7 ='‘‘‘' ‘-4 .- ..‘ “I.” :‘ Dear hag, I suspect you of having intended (as you in fact were) to be rather sarcastic on me in your letter.I plead guilty - but in i extermination of my guilt I say that I was on the eve of leaving the city - and had many many things to occupy my time & mind or I would not have written to an old friend such a business letter. I felt reliesea L to hear that you had received the guitar & liked it so well. I will give you all the instruction Ihave received when I visit Peterboro. AI play ﬁﬁylittle that is not well. I have only taken lessons sixzweeks 9 at the old mansion - the gre ihas the same elastic gait as when in days of yore he so gallantly served % and in New York I did not find.much time to practice. However I know about a half dozen pretty songs and four Waltzes. If papa attends eourt at Utica the first week in July I shall go there with.him, and frgm_there I to PeterhJro.if 211 an opportunity offers. Alt is doubtful if Papéh goes as inportant business he thinks will compel him.to be at Plattsburgh aboatf the same time - so I shall be obliged in that case to make some other plan, but loam determined to make the long_thought of visit this summer. When o do the Cochranes Visit you? Perhaps I will come with then, that is ifﬂl they will stop for me. When you write to them.te1l them to do s@ ~ if I do not get there before then. When you write to Sid tell him that his Johnstonn friends & all will ggghappy to have him spend his August vaeatin § I well tell hin.1ooks as gay & proud &I the country with Sid upon his back - and the little Waggon t@o,is still in good condition.‘ We are all well & happy, and rejoicing to hear from senses that our poor sister Meg is better. we have all suffered_anch anxiety on her account. She seemed for a time to be so rapidly declining. If Mrs. Tallmadgeis still eithyoa.reaember meLkindly to her, say that‘ “she must stop at Johnstown on her return.~~~ Gooi night; I hope to seeA l you soon, Tillthen adieu -~- Lizzy.

Last Monday norning Mr. & Mrs. Eaton and Gate left us for Newport. txnxny Today we received a letter saying that they like it very much.c They were making bathing dresses ~ and I presume ere this they have had a taste of old ocean. I have the supervision of the nurse and children. We all thought it better for Harriet to have the children here for their sake as well as her own.As her health is very delicate it is inportant that she should have as little care & trouble as possible. Tryphena is with us now. She came down about a week since. Baddy will return home with her and I think Bo will find sufficient pleasure with his Grandmana, Papa & nurse without the addition oft his Auntie Lee. Igan therefore determined toﬁhrow up my appointment over the nursery &¥depart for Peterboro the first of August. Miss Stewart wrote to me last week saying that she would accompany me at that time, with great pleasure but that company would prevent her from leaving sooner. She seens very desirous to visit Peterboro, but not more so than I am. You need not fear dear Lib that I shall be lonely. You do not know me if you think that I am happy only in gay company. A ride on horseback - a long walk with you er a race with Mag would give me more pleasure than a promenade tn Broadway or a party of all the fashionables of that great city.i This week Tryphena and I will probably go to Schenectady to commencement &* £ry will accompany me west as far as Canistota. I will let you know what day we will be there, and then you can see Tryphena if you wish and Mag can send home letters to Mag. I an very sorry to hearythat your Father's health is so delicate. We all regret it thatthe did not stop and see us when he went dewn. Give my love to your Father & Mother and Mag. I hear that Sid too is to spend August with you. We will have a happy time ~ but what will your Mother say to so many wild ones. There come Haddy and Bo and now for a regular romp with then.i as I shall see you as soon dear Lib I must say adieu for the present. I am sleepy and oppressed with the heat so prithee excuse this short dull 1etter.. I You shall hear soon again from A A Your cousin Lib PS~ All sendlove to our Peterboro friends. addressed to Miss Elizabeth Smith reterboro naa1son Co. N.Y.

Y Johnstown March 17th (About 1841) Dear Lib I returned from Seneca last Monday & found your letter waiting I me. I am really distressed that Cousin Gerrit should be suffering so much amidst learned honoopathists without once applyting to them for relief. Strange that you who are so famous for new measures should be so obstinate on medical points. I do hope you & Cousin Nancy will use your influence to prevent Cousin Gerrit from.submitting to a scientific death by these allopathic quaoks. I have seen Wonders in Eomeopthay and Animal Magnetism at Seneca, enough to make me wonder that all our lggg§gg_ (though not wise) physicians do not at least examine into their principles. Near Seneca Falls there lives a man who has had the rheumatism for twenmy years & under the care of a “regular” physician all that time, for four months every year, he has laid upon his back unable to move either to the right or the left without suffering exquisite pain. so great has been his suffering that the joints of his fingers_& toes are all loosened from their sockets. This poor man heard of the angel homeopathy, & placed himself under the her guardian care. Now he is not only a convert to the doctrines of the great Hanneman, but a man in comfortable circumstances & has the prospect of at least living the remainder of his days with- out enduring the torments of the rack for half the time. Dr. Herring either has or will publish a work soon, about women & children. Will you inquire of Mrs. Bayard the next time you see (her) whether it can be obtained in Ehila. or New York. If so & if you should return before May do bring me a copy. I intend to commence life on Homeopathic principles. * How many of our friends are dropping off one by one & yet how unconcerned we live in the daily and hourly violation of all the laws of our nature both mental & physical. Have you heard of the death of ‘Augusta Trotter? She died last Saturday. We have not heard from any of the family, but saw her death announced in the papers. I would like to have some particulars dear Lizzie of Gertrude's death, if you can find time write me something of her last illness. I hope you endear Cousin Nancy will take great care of yourselves. Until I was at Tryphena's I saw Cousin Bill once & called to see her again after Cousin Betty returned. 1 QLetterincomp1ete7 (Te EH60-*6-"*"“’ S"“"n;” V " Part of a letter written to Elizabeth Smith in 1841 from.Johnstown, New York.

Henry is still in Buffalo. The last letters from Johnstown give as bad news of my Father. He is gradually declining & suffers a good deal. I wish Cousin Gerrit & Nancy could go done again. He has always loved your Father very much» My baby grows finely. Write often. What do you think of boarding where Aunt Belle new is? If she gives up her rooms the let of September suppose I take them.for the winter. Do you think I could stand the board 2! You know I an a great epicure. I am desperate sick of working & attending to the fleshly needs. Love to all Your Johnson I Addressyto Mrs. Miller (Elizabeth Smith Miller)

They were sent by their parents to see the country in which they lite, with.directions to observe closely the scenery, soil, productions, manners & customs of the people &c,* &c, But these fellows were so much absorbed with the society of each other, that when they returned to their parents after a long absence, they had nothing to tell of their travels & they had lost the chief part of their clothing, leaving a trunk here & bag there, here a tooth» brush there a pair of boots &c, &c.

Especially mignonette. I have never succeeded in raising that flower yet. Henry is busy gardening & I am nearly through house- cleaning. We have been home just two weeks, - found everything safe y& sound. It seems a long time since I parted with you & Cousin Nancy at N. Y. How is dear Cousin N.? How utterly vain all the a must seem to her as they do to any sick body.i Wilkeson is getting better at the water cure & now Gate is going. She has sent Maggie to Johnstown. who nurse & two younger children are to come tozme next week. Bayard is to go with his mother, so she will shut up her house & be free from all care for a time. "Dear Cate she has had a hard winter of it. The old house at Johnstown is being pulled down. We looked for you there every day for a week. Why did you not come? My children have all been through the mumps dispensation.i How do yours manage the whooping cough? When you write which I hope will M be soon tell me all about your household & how the house at - ‘f gets on. That trunk Dear Liz was elegantly packed & the satin ress came without a wrinkle. I must give you Mama's last for Cousin Nancy to laugh at. She was reading David Copperfield & when she finished the last nunber, I said, Well Mans how do you like it “oh! said she, “I did like it,depend upon it that Stenotyge is going Eogrun away with Emily", almost equal t3““61a Dobbin & Susan~ Knifer . I Give a great deal of love from Henry & me to each & all. The spirits seem to be making some new manifestations. I am,convincedy that it is all humbug. How strange is not that these very minds that reject Christ & his miracles & all the mysteries of the Bible because they are opposed to reason & the truth as we see it in other revelations of God's laws, should be deluded by this miserable piece of humbug. I believe this is all done by some human means. There's nothing more wonderful about this than the preformances of the necronancer. My Seneca women wish to know when they get their land. Ask Charley if we sent our list. I wrote mine out last fall if he has not got it I will make another I 4 Margaret Pryor, Wate2mlo0 Seline Birdsell, Waterloo Harriet Roberts, Seneca Falls rhe names of the other two I have forgotten but I will find out a send them again. will you mention these to Charley, or Cousin Gerrit whoever attends to this securing of bank billsyamongst the ranks of humandty or if the bid must be made out in a business manner I will add mine to Henry's. When you write to aunt Bell give ny love to her. When you come hither we will go up & see her. You must not postpone until grape season this year, it will be too late for you.* Good night your Cousin Lib Aadr.ss.a to Elizabeth Smith Miller Peterboro, Madison Co.,N.Y.

The article signed J.V.N. is your beloved Mr. Johnson, but do not mention it or Jackson _& Miss Gilbert would tear my eyes out. “Our daughter” you see is getting topheayy. She tells three lies this month. She says she was next to you to wear the dress. I wore it several weeks before she did. She says she does not wear a bodice I have never seen her without one, & a very long one too. She says I write over my own signature as much- as to say that I donot write any of the editorials. In this very number are six editorials written by me. The whole column share your name is mentioned is mine, then “The Detroit Tribune", about the Lowell girls & the man in pettiooats.y Which one of us is responsible for this lack of moral senmiment in child? =A.man was sent here from J Boston to get a daguereotype of Mrs. B. for the “Beaten museum“ 3 paper published in that city. It is quite a large paper & the whole first page is devoted to a biographical sketch & full length out of Mrs. B. I think Julius you ought to be thankful that your name has not been blazoned about as a leader of fashion, a kind of female Beau Brummel. I am sure I am glad that I have kept out of this part of the preformance. I would as soon have my name on the bottle I family all over the country, as Lunds Sasaparilla or Stains panacea. No Julius you can immortalize yourself on something better than petticoats.l Julius you must write. You write,excellent letters. Do write one for the next Lily, about servants; children, the costume, labor, or anything. Suppose you write a series of letters to mothers. Reread Combo with care, & teach mothers just how to take care of their babies. This would be a great amusement to you & of real use to many an ignorant mother. You need not let anyone but Massa Johnson know _ ‘until you appear in print & are approved.J Now do this Julius. Amelia & I get on delightfully. We have been feasting on strawberries. My baby is very good & grows finely. I continue to be his nurse & it iiseasier to look after him than to train an ignorant Irish girl. I g thave invented such a variety of ways to keep him quiet, that is ways for him to keep himself quiet. I'll tell you how site now in his carriage, comfortable behind him, pillow before him. A tiny tape is tied to the top, a bell is tied to the top also; hanging down about ltwo fingersfrom the top. He has the long tape in his hands which he plays with just as a kitten does with a string, every little whilehey. knocks the bell, then he looks steadily at it until it is perfectly I still. hhen he is tired of bell & string &.I must invent some otherll position. Thursday morning, I am writing this letter by installments. Two gentlemen from the Oneida Community have just seen downtown their last paper “The free church circular” contains a long article on dress. ylt is excellent. If you do not get that paper I will send YOU 036» I isend you the names of those men & women that are to be recipients of father's boundy here. as Henry had no time to attend to it I got George Price to do his duty for him. Henry is at Canandeigua now engaged in a very important suit.

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.

Well, on Tuesday nigh: I walked nearly three miles, shopped & made five calls - came home, slept good all night & on Wednesday morning at six I awoke with a little pain, which I well understood. I jumped up bathed & dressed myself, hurried the breakfast eating none myself of course, got the house & all things in order working bravely between the pains. I neither sat down or laid I down until half past nine when I gave up all my vocations & avocations secular & domestic & devoted myself to the one point then brought especially before my mind. At ten o'clock the whole work was completed. The nurse & Amelia alone officiating. I had no Dr. & Henry was in lsyracuse. I laid down about fifteen minutes & never had so speedy & easy a time before although this is the largest child I ever had weighing 12 pounds clothes on. She is very large & plump & her head is covered with black curly hair & oh how I do rejoice in her & now what shall I call her. What is the meat beautiful name ever given to woman? I shall not name her after anyone, for friendships are such passing changing things in the present undeveloped state of the race that the friend of today is the cold stern critic of tomorrow & then how trying to call a loved one by aname that always brings with it a train of most unpleasant associations. When the baby was twenty- four hours old I got up bathed & dressed, sponge bath & sits bath, put on the wet bandage, ate my breakfast walked on the piazza & then the day being beautiful I took a ride of three miles on the plank road, came home rested an hour or so then read the newspapers & wrote a log; letter to Mama. Today I go about as usual. Everything with.me & the baby is as it should be, as yet all things move on right & my joy in being the mother of a precious little girl is more than I can tell you. Now do come & see me right off. The short dress I wore until the last. It is grand for such an occasion & I love it more than ever, Well nhe sitz bath.has never come & if it is not too late just countermand the order as I do not need it now. Love to all,your happy cousin Libs <To €l.o.bav6~5C€.. S‘,.o..rcUlcc.'m-n)

We need say nothing of the merits of this eork having already run through six editions, its popularity is of course its highest commendation. But oh: that one agonizing pain, how dare any aoman try that more than once. ﬂﬁﬁ Oh! how my eoald died within me as I approached that dreaded never-to~be~forgotten ordeal. I laid me down had two oaine which brought the baoy,in fifteen minutee the aeed wee & here I am in the land of the living rejoicing that a female child is born into the world. I suppose you got Kit's letter telling you of the arrival of Miss Harriet Eaton last Sunday afternoon. We are all rejoiced that no boy was sent in her stead. Maggie's joy over her little sister is unbounded. She ieéa nice baby & has plenty of dark brown hair, deep blue eyes, a very rosy complexion & is said to look just like Kit. I wish dear Julius felt as much at ease as I now do but the time will soon be here &"that gain" will introduce to the World Miss Ann Miller. How is Cousin Nancy? that does Cousin G. say to the ﬁteformanoes in Congress? I thi 3 the virtues of w the "etaving off“ policy have been fairly tre*‘;gt Tell Cousin N. i3Auu3 to read the next numbers of "Little Dmrrit” it is a sad story thus far but very interesting as everything of Dickens ie. Do write eeoon & tell me what you are all doing & saying & thinking. e Love to Charley, each & all Goodnight Your Coueint Lib PS Howie Neal Barclay? (To Elizabeth Smith M:11er)

Have I said or done ought against anything saored or divine? Am Igto make another marriage oontraot, or what? I like to be prepared for whatever may oome. On Thursday I expect lﬂarriet & Daddy, May & Libby. Do write to may whilst she is here to spend a day with you on her return. I wish her to see Cousin G's house & your baby. I send you a note from Tryphena. It is quite flattering to see the excitement about our beautiful babies. Tell Green he quite mistook my reason for leaving ?. so soon - it was because I saw that Charley was greatly distressed at the superiority of my baby & then I know that Cousin G would not return until I did leave, as he must have heard through Cousin Nancy & Mrs. Tallman of the rare beauty of my second daughter. Therefore he dreaded the encounter. I What does Cousin G think of affairs at Washington. We shall be in the midst of violenoe,blood & civil war before we look for it. Out fair republic must be the victim of the monster slavery unless we speedily rise in our might & boldly shout for freedom. We are all well. The weather here is very cold. We fear a frost tonight. Now Julius do come hither in June . Nannie _will be quite presentable in another month. Remember me to Amadamoiselle. Do write soon. Tell Charley the Junius meeting begins on Sunday. Much love to Cousin G. V Goodnight Your devoted Johnson PS —Oh$ Julius, shat glorious nights for sleeping. How I do love to sleep. elf you have eggs for breakfast tomorrow tell Charles hey must not put the shells in the dish. If he does it when he oomes here I shall take each shell out carefully with the sugar tongs & put them in the slop bowl & give him a withering look.i
