Dear Maggie
I have just sent the Johnstown petition to George W. Curtis with strict injunctions to make a swell in that 204 names. Miss Anthony went up to Albany last week to talk to the members and they say the question shall be thoroughly discussed. We are having 10,000 copies of John Stuart Mills speech printed as soon as they are finished I will send you some to sell. We must raise money for printing. Ask your Father to send us a donation. We have spent over a thousand dollars in printing this spring. The report of Mills speech in our papers was very meager, We sent to England and got a verbatim report in one of their papers, the work goes on finally. Beecher is to make a grand speech for us on the 4th of July in a grove in Westchester. Lucy Stone says we shall undoubtedly carry Kansas. Then if they do not take the word “male” out of our Constitution we will shake the dust of the Empire State off our feet and all go to Kansas and leave these “white male fossils” all to themselves. Kind regards to the “white males”
of the household, and ask your father to lobby a little for us if he knows any of the Suffrage Committee.
Yours truly
E Cady Stanton
