What a labor of love is yours as you strive to get even the names of people right- so many write me- it is so easy to tell the truth"- to which I answer them it is the most difficult thing to state the simplest fact or incident so that it will seem true to another person who witnessed it- The Nation's notice of Vol. III of History of W.

Very Sincerely yours
Susan B. Anthony
