My dear Mrs. Mellen
Miss Anthony just handed me your note and I hasten to say do come back to Washington for a few days so as to be here at Susan’s birthday banquet at the Riggs Home. There will be about 200 guests and that will give you an opportunity to see

all the faithful. You can come and return three days after the convention on reduced fare and board at the Riggs for $2/50 during the convention.
Both of my daughters are here. Mrs. Blatch and I sail for England next WEdnesday morning. We go directly from here to the ship, so this is our only chance of seeing you.

My best love to your seven children and accept much for yourself.
Yours sincerely
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Susan is 70 years old on Saturday, the 10th and the banquet takes place at 9 o’clock in the evening.
