[Jan.1856.]

Dear Susan,
What has been the fate of my letter. I corrected it and sent it straight back as you directed but I have never got the promised copies. The errors in Douglas paper were dreadful, and I did hope to have a few corrected copies to send to friends. Where are you, Susan and what are you doing your silence is truly appalling Are you dead or married? Well, I have got out the sixth edition of my admirable work, another female child is born in the world! Last Sunday afternoon, Harriet Eaton Stanton.

good night
