12th 1870’s

Dear Olive,
When I entered Detroit this morning, the first thing that caught my eye was your name good said I, as tonight is free I will stay & hear the “Bright nite” of humanity, but lo! on inquiry I found you came the 18th when I am engaged & so I shall not hear or see you But I write a line to say that my interest & sympathy are with you wherever you go
Heard Anna’s “Men’s rights” in N.Y, the night I left. I Believe she comes next here. Susan told me how much she enjoyed meeting you at Rochester, & the pleasant impression made by your speech.
I hope we may met in our wanderings with much love
Your friend sincerely
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
