Dear friend
I enclose your
draft on N.York for
$375 which with 125$
(the sum I shall pay
Yerrington on your
account) will justify
me in charging to NYks
acct in our council
accts -- $500 more.
So that item is
finished.
2nd I’ve told you
to print 500 copies of
your report—I (illegible)

asked. Their disposition^^of mine to dictate what
shall be your platform
when I get at (?) Convention
I shall have a voice
in that matter---But
please understand that
I do claim the right
to know what the platform
is to be to regulate my
action accordingly &
whenever it is understood
that the platform will (cross-outs)
include those questions
I shall have no thing to do
with the Convention &
wish my name wholly
disconnected therefrom.
Should I ever consent
In any circumstances
to speak before such a
meeting, it would be
only as an outsider
coming in for an hour^^being to have us at present
--I spend our funds &
wait their time—At best
so it struck me the
last time I applied—
If more than $125 is
needed to print 500 copies
(they’ll cost probably
$225 with posting & all)
I’ll hand forth the balance
from our funds, if you
approve. I shall send
Yerrington’s bill to
you to approve before
paying it.
3rd I note what
you say about “marriage
and divorce” I have
read what Mrs. Stanton
says—of course it is
no right (Illegible) ^^as Beecher and [Mayor?] have
lectured for me, I believe,
but with no responsibility
for the gathering. If
your plan is settled go on
and carry it out. I will
find or make opportunities
as often as I wish, for
telling what I have to say

ought to tell you how
we are getting on with

both gave their good word

never did better work –
Louisa Jacobs- who
was with us – promises first
[best?] – she is everything
proper & right in matter
and manner – private &
public – It is good
to have two new helpers
and young too – yes and
good looking – [Mr.?] Phillips
writes me he has another
in Boston he wishes to
introduce to me –
Don’t you cry all
Hail to young heroic
Kansas [!] – How glorious
if she shall now teach^^the nation the one & only way to rebuild
our union, as she ten years ago taught
it the one & only way out of slavery – Do you
[see?] she has submitted to her people
the question of striking both ‘White male’
from her Constitution.
I have sent Mr. Dewey a package
of Mrs. Stanton’s recent address to put
on sale at his News Rooms – also letters
to Democrat & Express to note the fact –
I hope you and Mary Hallowell will
both plan to go to [N.J.?] to the May meetings^^– there will be earnest work to be done
there – and every one who feels that now
is the hour to demand the establishment
of the whole of justice, ought to be there
to add voice and especially vote – so do
you both be there – you see the Standard
is swinging round the circle pretty rapidly
these two or three weeks past – perchance with an
eye to reelection – who can tell – but no matter –
all we want is the right word, and the broad
platform of the whole not half of five sixths –

especially Isaac your dear Husband.

Rochester, N.Y.
Dear friends
There is to be a
Convention in Cleveland, as you will
see by the enclosed Call, to form an
American Woman Suffrage Association,
which will not attack the 15th Amendment
nor complicate the question of Woman
Suffrage with side issues. The Call has
been extensively circulated & all that is
now needed to make the Convention a
great success is a general attendance of
delegates from all the States. As N York
is entitled to as many representatives in the Convention as its Congressional delegations & as
the N.Y. State society will not be likely to
send more than two, or three—it is very
important that the number should be increased
^^as provided by the Call, by the voluntary
aid and presence of reliable friends of
the Cause like yourselves.
Will you not take steps to go and
to induce your friends to go so that
Rochester and the state may be fully
represented in the most important Convention
since the formation of the Am. A. S.
Society?
There will be a preliminary
meeting held in Cleveland on the
evening of Nov 23. to plan organization
& work for the Convention on the 24. & 25.
N. W. Hudson, Ed of the Leader will
be able to tell you on arrival where the
preliminary meetings will be held &
probably will be able to find you hospitality
in private houses.
Do not fail to be in Cleveland—
Col T. W. Higginson, Rev Jas. Freeman
Clarke, ^Mrs Julia Ward Howe,^ Mrs Mary A. Livermore, Mr
Blackwell & myself & others will surely
be present. – Yours truly

In 1869 the suffrage movement split over tactical and philosophical differences. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Suffrage Association. Their organization worked for the defeat of the fifteenth amendment if it did not include women. They also supported more lenient divorce laws and organizing working women into unions. Lucy Stone declares in this letter that the American Association ""will not attack the 15th Amendment nor complicate the question of woman suffrage with side issues.""

Dear Husband
I hardly know which is duty – whether to come immediately home or write, we are having so good a time listening to the discussions on suffrage for paupers – black men and women that I hardly know how to live, yet I know that I am wanted at home. Curtis has not yet spoken but is watching his opportunity with anxious vigilance, yesterday and day before was on his feet half a dozen times but could only say Mr President when some other name would be announced by the chairman – and down he must sit.
Last evening Lucy Stone spoke at the same rostrum to a very good audience, most of the members present. I think the impression she made was good, seemed much as she
^^used to on the Antislavery platform and I was rejoiced to find her alive again her husband followed [w] a few pertinent remarks commenced half past nine o clock, but was well received
Lucys pathetic flights, touches the hearts of the people as well as her arguments the intellect – I hope Anna Dickinson will come before the subject is ended – there is some hopes of its being left to the Women to vote upon it next June – whether they will accept it or not – which I hope will be done – then if a majority of us reject the boon, we will have a twenty years more of labor and waiting - Susan is here – it seems that she & Mrs. Stanton were here at the time we were first notified and spoke before a committee of the whole, but the papers were as they are this morning as silent as the grave upon it –when will party politicks learn to be just
Be of good cheer, I think to be home tomorrow eve,

My Dear Mrs. Post and Mrs. Bush
When I was in
Rochester the matter in regard to my lecturing
was left undecided and I told Mrs. Bush
I should be in the city again in a week
or two. My business did not call me there,
and as I am now much occupied in
preparing a course of lectures I can save
time by dropping you a line.
Mrs. [Cox?] told me your Convention would
be postponed until Spring, and since this
is so would it not be best to defer my
lectures until after the Fair, and then
perhaps give a course of three or four. It
will then be more in the season for lectures.
A lecture sometime this week was spoken
of. I am ready if it is thought best; but
should think perhaps it would be well to
have it deferred.
They give fine reports of the prospect
for the Worcester Convention. they have
^^already recieved some letters from abroad, one ""a
grand one"" from Harriet Martineau; and they are
expecting many speakers and an overflowing
attendance. Mrs. Davis, and Miss Stone, are both
going and to stir up the people before hand.
I have concluded to devote my [?] time for
this winter principally to the cause of Woman am
preparing a long course of lectures to be ready for
any emergency. As the matter of my speaking in
your city was left so indefinite I thought I ought
either to see or [visit?] you. Would not the second week
after the fair be the best time for the lectures if I
should speak there. I shall be in R. at the fair and
will see you then. Will one of you, ladies, please
drop me a line if you have any thing to communi-
cate.
Yours affectionately,

Esteemed Sister,
I thought when I received that Rochester
paper giving an account of the woman's convention and of their
rights and what they wanted, and what they intended to petition
for, untill they had obtained it, that I would write up
to Isaac and request him to persuade his wife to try to have
a little more stability, and to act more like a sensable
woman, in your Declaration you say that the history of
mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on
the part of man towards woman having in direct object
the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. If thee
means Isaac when thee says all that thee might as well
leave him and come to L. Island an [sic] live. and a gain you
say he (meaning man) has created a fals [sic] sentiment by giving
to the world a different code of morals for men an [sic] women
by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society
are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man
If I understand what is ment [sic] by morral [sic] delinquencies it is
woman that has made the difference and not man, and
what thee seams to complain the most of is not having
the [privilage] of going to the poles [sic] and giving thy vote, and
not being drawn to serve on [Jurory?], and to be appointed
sheriffs and [?] fast every office that man fills thee
wants the [prebelage] [sic] of having.---. I have lately heard
of a society in Boston that I think would suit thee
and Sarah and some of the rochester women [especially?] well
^^theire [sic] whole business as I understand it is, to take charge
of other people concerns, and to see that every thing is
[done] as it should be, and in the right time, this would
keep you in plenty of business, -- without [running?] all over
with your petitions to get signers in order to send to
the legeslator for them to pass a law giving you the
privilage [sic] of voting which I presume they never will do.
There is a resolution I wish thee to explain it is [wicked?]
that the assumption of law to settle estates when men
die without wills leaving widows is an insult to woman
and [?]---- some folks think that property, accum-
ulated by parents ought not to go to theire children
but to the state in which they live; is that thy notion
or where would thee have it to go? I would like for
thee to give me the particulars in [regard] to property
when the husband dies leaving a widow and [chil]
children all of age, weather [sic] thee would have the husband
or the wife to make a will so neither of them or boath.
the resolution respecting marriage you think for a woman
to [promise] to be a faithull [sic] and loving wife. is a barbour-
ous and an unrighteous practice and you mean to persua-de all the unmarried women to make no more promesses
in the marriage contract. you seam [sic] to want a great
many things granted by the men that you do not enjoy
at present and I think I can put you in a way to have
every thing granted you that can be desired and that is to
get up an instrument of writing in verry [sic] strong language
and let every unmarried woman pledg [sic] her self that she
will not marry any man untill the laws are so
^^altered as to place woman on an equality with man
in every respect even to wearing of pants if she wishes to
do so, and if the unmarried women will all sign it and
stick to it for a few years ^say about 20^ I am persuaded you will
bring them to any terms you may wish and I believe
that is the only way that your Prayer can ^be^ obtained
I would like to hear all about the new Yearly [Meeting] Do
write and let us no [sic] the particulars also about your [free?]
meeting at rochester--weather [sic] it is like friends meeting
or an abolition meeting or [wat?] kind of a meeting and
how many attend [and when they are?],--- their is
a [free?] meeting lately setup at Jerusalem I believe
it is held on first day afternoon and attended by
Henry Titus Edward Seaman Adam Eighmie and
two or three that are not friends, all Preachers or
speakers I do not know what [crossed out: what] the [sic] call it but
I believe preaching, Edward Seaman I believe is a
practicing and trying to learn the art of Preaching
the Gospel, I wish they were all up at rochester
so that they might attend your meeting and Preach
for you I think thaire preaching would suit you better
than it does us -- we have heard verry little about Sarah
for some time would like to know how she is getting along
weather she is ingaged about abolition or womans rights
or temperence or free soil or weather she is attending to
her own concerns, If she is attending to the latter I think she
may stand a pretty good chance to get a husband unless
she concludes to take the plidg [sic] to marry no man untill
[crossed out: untill] the laws are so altered as put woman on equality
with man on every subject
^^I wish thee would say to Isaac tha [sic] I am much obliged to him
for sending me the North Star, but as the year is nearly out
he may stop the paper, I believe the paper is doing quite
as much harm as it is good and I do not wish to encourage
it, I am a Wig [sic] and I dislike some of his letters and some
of his remarks in regard to some of the wigs very much,

I wish thee to remember me effectionately [sic] to William

him, which will prevent it from being out [lawed] and
