<p> <br /> Liverpool England. June 10. 1887</p>
<p>My dear friend Amy Post-<br /> Some forty years ago I wrote<br /> you a letter from England and<br /> I do not wish my present tour<br /> to end without sending you another-<br /> though only to tell you that I am well<br /> and continue to remember you<br /> with gratitude and affection. You<br /> were among the first of American<br /> women to give me shelter &<br /> make me feel at home under<br /> your roof- kindness I never forget.<br /> I have now been on this side the<br /> Atlantic near nine months-<br /> I have travelled far and seen<br /> heard and felt much- much</p>
<p> (Page 2)</p>
<p><br /> that I could talk about if I was<br /> seated by your side- but not much<br /> that I can now find time to<br /> to write about. In our travels-<br /> (for Helen was with me throughout<br /> till a few hours ago) we have<br /> taken in England, France Italy-<br /> Switzerland- Greece and Egypt-<br /> we have visited- London Paris Naples<br /> Rome, Athens, Alexandra- Cairo-<br /> and many other famous towns<br /> and cities- which when I consider<br /> my starting period in life,<br /> it is marvellous [sic] that I have<br /> accomplished so much-but<br /> I feel that it has all come<br /> too late in life. I should</p>
<p> (Page 3)</p>
<p><br /> have travelled thus when I was<br /> younger and when my ambition<br /> for achievements was more vigorous-<br /> I came to Liverpool now to see<br /> my dear Helen off to America.<br /> The condition of the health of her<br /> mother has been such of late as<br /> to make Helen feel that she ought<br /> to go home. It was a sore trial<br /> to her to leave me here even for<br /> a few weeks- but she is a strong<br /> woman and she bore it bravely.<br /> She is now well on her way- in a<br /> stout ship and I have no doubt<br /> will arrive safely- I have<br /> something to tell you. I met a<br /> man in the street a day or two</p>
<p> (Page 4)</p>
<p><br /> ago- who introduced himself<br /> to me as Dr. Tomblety- He<br /> spoke freely of yourself and<br /> Jacob. I shall want to know<br /> more of him if I shall be<br /> spared to see you again. He<br /> told me much about himself<br /> in a very brief space, for he<br /> seemed to have more tongues<br /> than ears- I could not get<br /> a word in anywhere- and you<br /> know I am too much in<br /> love with my own voice<br /> to like being suppressed and<br /> overtalked in that way- but<br /> enough of Dr. Tomblety. He<br /> seemed a good fellow after<br /> all.</p>
<p> (Page 5)</p>
<p><br /> I must tell you of another I met <br /> with whom you have been in <br /> other days <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ag</span> acquainted to some<br /> extent, if not with her, you have<br /> been with her history, for she<br /> has a history. When in Rome at<br /> the Hotel De la Poste- there came<br /> to see me a handsome and elegantly<br /> dressed lady. She was refined in her<br /> manners and appearance- and<br /> made a favorable impression<br /> upon all who saw her- she called<br /> many names of persons with<br /> whom I am acquainted in<br /> America- She seemed a thoroughly<br /> English lady. She introduced herself<br /> as Mrs. Martin- said she had<br /> seen me before- at a public<br /> meeting in Washington- I had</p>
<p> (Page 6)</p>
<p><br /> recollection of her and could not<br /> imagine who she could be- At<br /> last she told me "I am she that<br /> was Victoria Woodhull' I am<br /> now married to Mr. Martin<br /> and live in London- The <br /> announcement was startling<br /> enough for I had no idea of<br /> meeting Mrs. Woodhull. I have<br /> made some enqueries [sic] about<br /> her since and find that she<br /> is <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">lively</span> living very quietly<br /> in London as the wife a<br /> thoroughly respectable Banker<br /> Such is life- You may have<br /> known all this before- but<br /> I did not. I also met in<br /> Rome three of the sisters</p>
<p> (Page 7)</p>
<p><br /> of <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Charls</span> Charles Remond. It <br /> was very pleasant to meet <br /> so far away from home <br /> these dear people. Like Charles <br /> they detest prejudice of color<br /> and say they would <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">wo</span> not<br /> live in the U. States, if you could<br /> or would give them America!<br /> I told them I found America a<br /> very good country to live in<br /> and that popular prejudice<br /> was on the wane- A few days<br /> ago I saw my old friend Julia<br /> Griffiths. She came to London<br /> to see us and though she,<br /> like ourselves is older than<br /> thirty five years ago- she is</p>
<p> (Page 8)</p>
<p><br /> still quite lively- In Paris I<br /> saw Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton<br /> at the house of her son- She is<br /> at work on her woman's Bible<br /> and seems more radical than<br /> ever. She is a noble and brave<br /> woman and has no snobbery<br /> about her- I hope that you are<br /> still well and active though that <br /> is a gooddeal to hope and more<br /> to expect, but you are<br /> an exception to general rules-<br /> Do I pray you remember me<br /> kindly to dear Mary and <br /> Sarah- I love to think of their<br /> unceasing friendship- To Jacob- <br /> Joseph and William I also wish<br /> to be remembered <br /> Always and to the end<br /> yours<br /> Fred<sup>k</sup>. Douglass</p>

I do not bloat as much & can bend over easier than before, my stom ach [sic] does not trouble me as bad, but my health is poor and I think it always will be. I have Neuralega [sic] or Rheumination [sic] a good deal this winter in my arms and back. I think perhaps my age has something to do with my bad feelings. hope when warm weather comes to feel better. I want to live as long as Father does for I don't know what he would do else, after that I think I shall think like Chester Arthur life is not worth living. Was much obliged for the medicine, if you had sent the prescription I could have bought it. what was that [root?] and powder Fathers health is better than for two winters past. he ^has^ not been so but that he could sit up and move around but doesn't go from home any in cold weather I suppose you have heard of Prof [Lyons?] death. he was sick some time, I don't know what disease. Mary [Philo?] is very sick a few more days will end her life journey people think. she doctored a long time with a Free Methodist Dr. at Hol loway & he could not locate her disease. when she was about dead they sent for Parker & it didn't take him long to tell the trouble. she has a Pelvic Abscess [sic] & it is running her life away. We have been having quite a flood in this section water was no higher here than it has been before but there has a great many thousa^nd^ dollars worth of Bridges gone, also mill dams in this County and [Monroe?]. I suppose you have seen Miss Delano before this time. is she well. do you still think of coming home this winter. was you at the Pine Lake meeting last Fall. We haven't heard from Sarah in a long time. I think they are snowed in there. we have no snow now and Feb so far has been mild. Robins are here and we hope for an early Spring. Write when you have time. Good Bye Your Loving Sister E. Jane Farlin

I have tried very hard & faithfully<br /> to get up a little fund for her to draw from<br /> but have not succeeded. Ever since<br /> the winter of 76 I have seen to her support,<br /> either by taking her to [illegible] meetings or<br /> from my private resources. Sojourner is<br /> very different from an ordinary poor person<br /> She has been so much & done so much &<br /> suffered so much, it gives me a [sensitive?]<br /> feeling for her & whilst I have a living & she <br /> needs one I hope to continue in my care<br /> of her. It does not seem at all likely<br /> she will continue to need care very much<br /> longer. It would gladden her heart to see<br /> thee once more.

It will be as easy to come here & talk to me as to answer all these questions [text normal, continued from page 3 with line ending "quite large."] I have thought that some person of wealth might bequeath a few hundred dollars to Sojourner, which would most likely last her as long as she would need earthly help. I often see in the Womans Journal mention made of some bequest to either [individuals?] or Colleges. I have tried very hard & faithfully to get up a little fund for her to draw from but have not succeeded. Ever since the winter of 76 I have seen to her support, either by taking her to [illegible] meetings or from my private resources. Sojourner is very different from an ordinary poor person She has been so much & done so much & suffered so much, it gives me a [sensitive?] feeling for her & whilst I have a living & she needs one I hope to continue in my care of her. It does not seem at all likely she will continue to need care very much longer. It would gladden her heart to see thee once more. Do you hear from [Parks?] or Fred Douglas [sic];. Lovingly, Your Frances.

Notwithstanding my com- mendation of our very estimable Com- mittee's invitation, - I was very sorry to discover one great omission, unworthy the conciencious [sic]-- thoughtful men who signed it. that omission was the word women. The word "All who believe" &c does not include women, as the expo- nents of our laws, ^statutes^ still persist in denying our right to Citizenship--and the Ballot Box Can it be that the advocates of this "New Departure" contemplate erecting this (contemplated grand) structure for the government [sic] of the whole people of this nation upon such an unscientific and unphilosophical basis as to ignore ^and trample upon the rights of^ one half of the human inhabitants, that part too ^as you will find^ indispensably [sic] vital to life and growth of [text between line]all ^every good^ causes-- every voter should be protected in his or her right^ ^to cast the ballot of their choice^ remember the committees [sic] Motto "In Union we must find strength" To the National L.

<p> Washington D.C. Oct 23.<br /><br /> My dear friend Amy Post<br /> I was very glad to get a line<br /> from you. I had almost come to the <br /> conclusion that by becoming an office<br /> holder- I had lost your confidence. You<br /> have not given me even one word<br /> of congratulations even onto this day<br /> and knowing your views about office<br /> holders I will not ask you to give <br /> me any such word. Did my official<br /> duties permit I should be delighted <br /> to attend the Liberty League meeting <br /> in Rochester on the 27<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><sup>th</sup></span> yes: I know <br /> something of this Liberty League and <br /> I most earnestly commend its objects.<br /> My opportunities for speaking are far<br /> in excess of my ability and once <br /> in a while I prefer silence to <br /> speech. It would not be to speak <br /> if I came but to hear and this <br /> I could do- whether a deligate [sic] or not.</p>
<p> (Page 2)<br /> If for nothing but to see you and <br /> your Dear Hallowell and Willis<br /> circle- dear people, whom I <br /> always love to remember it <br /> would give me pleasure to be<br /> in Rochester at the <br /> convention to which you <br /> kindly invite me. But now <br /> all our courts are on session <br /> and I am compelled to be on <br /> hand.<br /> Remember me most respectfully <br /> to Mr and Mrs Mills- <br /> and believe always<br /> yours very truly <br /> Fredk Douglass</p>

Since the morning I left Rochester I have been wishing for a moment to thank you for your kind note handed me by Willie as I was getting into the cars but I have found none till I reached this queer named place away down here in the state of Maine. I thought much of your advice concerning the Tiltons- and the more I thought the more I was con- vinced that you were right. But after all I did not go as I expected to Brooklyn the appointment there having been given up- and hence I did not have occasion to act upon your wise advice. It is easy to see that that there may good and sufficient reasons for silence of which the public do not know and perhaps ought not to know- It may be that the good lady is subject to moments of insecurity and in that irresponsible condition has said things which are not true and which in her same condition she would not be likely to tell if they were true. There is ever room for charity. I had the pleasure and it was a real one to see my friend WilliamHallowell when I lectured in Philadelphia last week. I fear that my lecture there was not a success though my audience was a splendid one both as to numbers and character. Though I spoke two hours I had to omit some of the best or what I think the best parts of my lecture. The story of my escape was clumsily told because I had no heart in telling it. There is really nothing exciting in it. Hoping that this will find you well- Very truly yours Fred. Douglass.Please remember me kindly to Mrs and Mr Hallowell and to Mr and Mrs Willis- Time but revives and increases my respect and regards for all your dear circle. F. D.

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br />Washington D.C. July 18. 1872<br /><br />My dear Friend:<br /> I have not forgotten my promise to send you a line. I hope<br /> you are well. I see that the heats of July <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">li</span> in Rochester have been<br /> very trying- and I naturally think of health as the best thing<br /> though among the most uncertain things of life. The heat<br /> in Washington is greater than is remembered before by the oldest<br /> inhabitant, from ninety five to one hundred in the shade for<br /> weeks together. I often sigh for the shade of my Rochester trees <br /> and for the pleasant calls I occasionally made to your<br /> house. But I am in the harness and must needs<br /> work while it is day. My Bonds are yet giving me<br /> trouble. There was a mistake in the numbers and<br /> one Bond that I represented as burnt, has been found in <br /> the Treasury- This of course, casts a doubt upon all <br /> the rest. I can come to no decision about building<br /> again in Rochester while the Bonds question remains.<br /> I am leaving here for Virginia in a few days<br /> to stump for the election of Grant and Wilson<br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> My line of argument will be, that Grant's position is pure<br /> and simple - while that of Greeley is mixed and <br /> ambiguous. I shall admit that I should on personal <br /> grounds like to vote for Greeley if I really knew what<br /> I am voting for.- and which of the many Greeleys<br /> my vote would elect. For there ˆareˆ a great many<br /> Greeleys. If I could select the right one I would gladly<br /> give him my vote- But just here is the trouble.<br /> This many sided man has been on all sides- One does <br /> not know which will finally control. His going over<br /> to Democracy to get elected president is against him-<br /> Our country wants certainty- and wants the confidence<br /> and repose which only certainty can give- Hence I am in short<br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">I am</span> for Grant. I hope to be in Rochester for a few days about<br /> the 1<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><sup>st</sup></span> of August- All good things to you my friend-<br /> Yours Truly<br /> Fredk Douglass</p>
<p>Amy Post.</p>
<p> </p>
Annotations
Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist and former slave, is writing from Washington D.C. to fellow activist, Amy Post. Douglass mentions the upcoming 1872 Presidential election when the incumbent, President Ulysses S. Grant and his running mate Henry Wilson were re-elected, despite a split within the Republican Party that resulted in a defection of many Liberal Republicans to opponent Horace Greeley.

July 18. 1872My dear Friend: I have not forgotten my promise to send you a line. I hope you are well. I see that the heats of July li in Rochester have been very trying- and I naturally think of health as the best thing though among the most uncertain things of life. The heat in Washington is greater than is remembered before by the oldest inhabitant, from ninety five to one hundred in the shade for weeks together. I often sigh for the shade of my Rochester trees and for the pleasant calls I occasionally made to your house. But I am in the harness and must needs work while it is day. My Bonds are yet giving me trouble. There was a mistake in the numbers and one Bond that I represented as burnt, has been found in the Treasury- This of course, casts a doubt upon all the rest. I can come to no decision about building again in Rochester while the Bonds question remains. I am leaving here for Virginia in a few days to stump for the election of Grant and Wilson My line of argument will be, that Grant's position is pure and simple - while that of Greeley is mixed and ambiguous. I shall admit that I should on personal grounds like to vote for Greeley if I really knew what I am voting for.- and which of the many Greeleys my vote would elect. For there are a great many Greeleys. If I could select the right one I would gladly give him my vote- But just here is the trouble. This many sided man has been on all sides- One does not know which will finally control. His going over to Democracy to get elected president is against him- Our country wants certainty- and wants the confidence and repose which only certainty can give- Hence I am in shortI am for Grant. I hope to be in Rochester for a few days about the 1st of August- All good things to you my friend- Yours Truly Fredk DouglassAmy Post.

<p>sympathy for the sad and suffering</p>
<p>so my feelings have gone forth this</p>
<p>morning to my cousin Elizabeth Hewlet</p>
<p>who has just been bereaved of a daughter</p>
<p>a lovely girl just emerging into womanhood</p>
<p>with consumption. Last summer she was</p>
<p>quite feeble but they thought entirely</p>
<p>recovered but for sometime now has</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 2)</p>
<p>been poorly the Dr told them they must take</p>
<p>her away from LI they did so and only retur</p>
<p>-ned a few days before her death Our</p>
<p>dear little Mary talks a great deal of</p>
<p>my papa when she first came to Westbury</p>
<p>she said won’t papa come and stay with</p>
<p>us tonight; and very often when we</p>
<p>sit at table she inquires about him if he</p>
<p>has any dinner where he is and many</p>
<p>times a day speaks of his doing or saying</p>
<p>this or that showing he is very present to</p>
<p>her and I hope she will remember him</p>
<p>Phebe has been quite poorly teething &</p>
<p>diverse [?] complaint and she has been</p>
<p>fretful enough has lost flesh but when</p>
<p>she is feeling better her cheerful sun</p>
<p>-shiny face does us good and diverts from</p>
<p>sadder thoughts It has been exceeding</p>
<p>hot and dry but yesterday afternoon</p>
<p>had a nice shower here but guess there</p>
<p>was more in some other directions as</p>
<p>the clouds were black a long time</p>
<p>both N and S of us Jo<sup>s</sup> Hick and sons had</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 3)</p>
<p>a new boat a large company went sailing</p>
<p>Yesterday also a Beach party from Westbury</p>
<p>the rain so welcome might inconvenience</p>
<p>them some but this morning it is delightful</p>
<p>the air pleasant and every thing looks as</p>
<p>if it was rejoicing and giving its thank</p>
<p>offering for the timely gift I can scarcely</p>
<p>say timely for much of promise has been</p>
<p>entirely withered by the drought</p>
<p>Our Q M is over I dreaded it greatly but</p>
<p>got through much better than I expected</p>
<p>I was not as well as usual on 5 day and did</p>
<p>not go to meeting Aaron C Macy D Barns and</p>
<p>their wives were in attendance ACM &</p>
<p>wife made us a very pleasant visit previous</p>
<p>nothing of especial interest meeting large</p>
<p>Tlog [?] Foulk is travelling West is probably now</p>
<p>In Cal [?] with his son they fear his lungs are</p>
<p>diseased Leonard Frost is quite comfortable</p>
<p>again and very unexpectedly so sometime</p>
<p>previously he reached his aunt Hannahs they</p>
<p>called in a Dr and he saw no hope for him</p>
<p>and told him he thought he could not live</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 4)</p>
<p>over three days but he improved so much</p>
<p>as to be able to walk about outdoors and</p>
<p>may get back again he wrote a beautiful</p>
<p>letter to his father supposing it would be</p>
<p>his last and this improvement is quite</p>
<p>unexpected to all Gideon seems pleased with</p>
<p>his home arrangement Penn Urlich [?]& wife</p>
<p>making it pleasant for him and they eaqualey [sic]</p>
<p>pleased Sidney Jackson has pretty much</p>
<p>concluded to go to NY Townsend has been</p>
<p>at Sidneys sometime and has persuaded him</p>
<p>to let him have the farm and got it arrang</p>
<p>ed pretty much before M and Hannah knew of</p>
<p>it they feel very much troubled about it I guess</p>
<p>a very poor bargain for Sidney Townsend claim</p>
<p>-ed stock or value all of which Jacob gave to</p>
<p>Sidney in will would never have claimed it</p>
<p>If he had not come on the farm & perhaps</p>
<p>they will have influence enough to stop it</p>
<p>Isaac and Mary Cook [?] were here to tea yesterday told</p>
<p>of building a kitchen soon Mary is do well now</p>
<p>they feel in earnest to be better fixed Our Colored friend</p>
<p>held their celebration of the 15 amendment in</p>
<p>the woods opposite to E S Wold home a large</p>

<p>of music from NY formed a procession</p>
<p>at the depot and with flags and banners</p>
<p>marched up had 36 girls dressed in</p>
<p>white and men with badges of some</p>
<p>significance making quite an impos</p>

<p>and from the display suppose some very</p>
<p>good eating but we did not go until</p>
<p>after dinner so lost the excuse of needing</p>
<p>a dinner Our neighbor Ann is as kind</p>
<p>as need be just been up offering apples or</p>
<p>almost any thing her flowers are the nicest</p>
<p>I have seen they have watered them abund</p>

Isaac Post [illegible] 7 anno 11/70
Dear Brother & Sister I have taken up a pen but probably my necessity will compel me to lay it aside very soon for a little rest I find I have a limit which it is [illegible] sometimes to acknowledge and having been overtaxed so long cannot recuperate as fast as years ago The change in our family has necessitated quite an overturn our room’s upstairs all so small that we have taken away the partition between the room you slept in and the next making a nice room for dear Katie and children got the wall mended & cleaned ready for her when she can come It is so exceedingly lonely since all left and Phebe not well (teething probably) that we feel anxious to get them here You may imagine how much fortitude it has required to stay alone with her great sorrow The breaking up? all? her hopes? and pleasant arrangements gone nothing remaining but the loving remembrance of the past and the joyous anticipations of the future But “Life is ever Lord of Death And Love
PAGE2
can never lose its own”, she has been wonderfully sustained through out all but I almost dread the coming back to the old home I fear she will drink there she has had so much she was compelled to act so many? care? is? resting on her that when the pressure is lifted and more leisure known I doubt if she feels any less lonely They have gone today to prove the will We were greatly surprised to find after many days that Edmunds & co had gone was on the look out really expecting to see them drive up to our door and felt on finding them gone that they had not done quite right by us
I doubt not They too will feel more their loss on act of Isaac & Mary leaving Rochester and the remembrance of the changes but I will not weary you with our engrossing thought we feel very much that a prop on which we had learned very lovingly had been broken and instead an added care
It is a great comfort to have Isaac & Mary at the home and greatly hope they will realise much enjoyment thine also greatly desire all things may be arranged
PAGE3
harmoniously that there may be no heart burnings or awkward feeling among any I believe Katie would desire to do anything in her power to promote and retain this bond of love which as ever subsisted between the family of brothers & sisters Afternoon here, just taken a walk in the garden many things are quite wilting and look very much in need of moisture The wind blows and some clouds but little appearance of rain Have had a very fine time hay making we had a small crop wheat said to be very poorly filled oats but to cut all much earlier than usual many
finished Hay in June Raspberries are very [illegible] and ours being shaded are very nice shall have to go out and pick them for tea before I go for Joseph at the Depot Have just read in the last weeks [illegible] several articles one which pleased me apart especially House versus Home containing very much truth? would that [illegible] Might learn wisdom by the enumeration of such sketches and [illegible] the jolly? of making home the saddest place to be found
Morning A slight change in the appearance of vegetation a little dash of rain in the night so that each plant and flower
PAGE4
in acknowledgement for it looks its gratitude by its freshness and increased beauty how many beautiful lessons may he learned from nature and what abundant blessings we are constantly receiving of times without a thought of recognition of the great dispenser of all these bounteous gifts - Joseph came home feeling quite disappointed all met at Jamaica and waited for hours some too long to get home before [illegible] and [illegible] surrogate or desk made their appearance It was too bad to [illegible] [illegible] time to suit their own convenience and not be on hand to attend to it especially at this busy season Joseph is ready to go to the office so must say farewell I feel as tho your visit has scarcely been made I saw so very little of that it is not looked back too

<p> </p>
<p> Washington April 26<sup>th </sup> 1870</p>
<p> Mrs Post </p>
<p> Dear Friend</p>
<p> At the</p>
<p>request of our good friend, Sojourner</p>
<p>Truth, I now indite [sic] these</p>
<p>lines to you; I saw her a</p>
<p>few days since, and she was</p>
<p>censuring herself for not having</p>
<p>written to you ere this, but</p>
<p>being so dependent as she is</p>
<p>in this respect upon others</p>
<p>to write for her, she has</p>
<p>defered [sic] it till this time &</p>
<p>now asks my slight services</p>
<p>in her behalf which I most</p>
<p>readily grant.</p>
<p> Sojourner has</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 2)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>been in Washington near</p>
<p>two months & has visited several</p>
<p>of the prominent men here,</p>
<p>selling Photographs &&, some of</p>
<p>the parties have been quite</p>
<p>genorus [sic] with her, the President</p>
<p>for instance, who at the</p>
<p>time of her calling on him,</p>
<p>gave her five dollars for</p>
<p>one of her Photos, for which</p>
<p>she is very grateful.</p>
<p> She is quite well, and</p>
<p>appears to be enjoying herself</p>
<p>here; has held two meetings,</p>
<p>had quite good audiences, &</p>
<p>from the sale of Photographs,</p>
<p>contributions &&, she realized</p>
<p>about 65 dollars, which she</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 3)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> thinks was doing well.</p>
<p> There is a Gentleman</p>
<p>who is now working to procure</p>
<p>pay for services rendered</p>
<p>here by her, some time</p>
<p>since, in the cause of the</p>
<p>Freedmen & Women, I trust</p>
<p>she may be successful in</p>
<p>her behalf, as she so earnestly</p>
<p>desires to pay for her little</p>
<p>home, that she may have</p>
<p>a place which she can call</p>
<p>her own.</p>
<p> It is her intention</p>
<p>to leave here in a few</p>
<p>days, as she desires & expects</p>
<p>to be in N.Y. city during</p>
<p>anniversary week so that she</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 4)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>can attend the Womans</p>
<p>Suffrage Meeting, the cause</p>
<p>which she is deeply interested</p>
<p>in; she hopes to have the</p>
<p>pleasure of meeting you, as</p>
<p>well as many other good &</p>
<p>tried friend. [sic]</p>
<p> The hour for</p>
<p>rest is at hand & I will close</p>
<p>this hasty & poorly written</p>
<p>note, with the earnest desires</p>
<p>that your days may be many</p>
<p>in the future, as in the past.</p>
<p>stand first and foremost to take</p>
<p>the struggling reformer by the hand,</p>
<p>giving such strength as so many</p>
<p>of these brave Pioneers so much need.</p>

Annotations
Matilda Joslyn Gage, a woman's rights activist is writing to fellow activist, Amy Post. The anniversary may refer to the 1850 National Woman's Suffrage Convention held in Worcester, Massachusetts. Theodore Tilton was an abolitionist and editor. During this period, there was a court case brought against clergyman, Henry Ward Beecher. In 1874, Tilton filed charges against the Beecher for his adulterous relationship with Tilton's wife.

(Page 1) <br /><br /> 16/2mo 1870<br /><br /> Dear Friend,<br /> On behalf of the Anti-Slavery <br /> Committee<a title="">[1]</a>, I take the liberty to send <br /> the enclosed minute on Immigration <br /> from China into the Southern States of <br /> the Union. The facts which have at <br /> various times been brought before the <br /> committee during the last twenty years <br /> arising out of immigration, especially <br /> into Countries where slavery had previously <br /> existed, have been of the most <br /> harrowing character.<br /> Many rules &regulations have <br /> from time to time been laid down by <br /> the British Government both in its Imperial <br /> & Colonial Capacities, and immigration <br /> (Page 2)<br /> agents have been appointed to prevent <br /> abuses; but all efforts have, at least<br /> in many cases so far, proved ineffectual <br /> to prevent the perpetration of very grievous <br /> attrocities. Kidnapping & fraud are <br /> sick practices to a large extent previous <br /> to embarcation [sic], whilst as to theSea <br /> passage the fearful mortality often <br /> indicates the grievous sufferings to which <br /> the immigrants are subjected. The last <br /> mail from Demerara<a title="">[2]</a> announces the <br /> arrival of the Ship shared which left <br /> Calcutta with 468 Coolies<a title="">[3]</a> on board + <br /> only landed 364 alive. <br /> In Cuba Chinese Immigrants have <br /> long been bought & sold like cattle in the <br /> open market, and there is abundant <br /> testimony to the fact that their condition <br /> is as bad as that of the slave himself<a title="">[4]</a><br /> In a parliamentary Blue Book published <br /> (Page 3)<br /> a year ago it is stated that 96.581 <br /> Chinese were imported into Cuba within<br /> a period of one year & eight months. <br /> We do not know what the mortality <br /> of the Chinese in Cuba is, but we do <br /> know that out of more than 100.000 <br /> taken into Peru within twenty years, <br /> less than 10.000 are now living and <br /> that not more than about 100 have <br /> ever returned to their native land.<a title="">[5]</a><br /> As to. Jamaica, in a paper presented <br /> to the International Anti-Slavery Conference<br /> held in Paris in 1867 Henry Clarke <br /> an esteemed Clergyman of the Church of <br /> England who has resided twenty years<br /> in Jamaica<a title="">[6]</a> bears striking testimony both<br /> to the condition of the immigrants and the <br /> causes which have led to their importation—<br /> He says the suicidal policy of many of the <br /> Planters in making the nation labourers [sic] as <br /> (Page 4)<br /> uncomfortable as possible has driven them from <br /> Estate labour [sic] to other occupations and that this <br /> policy is still continued—another proof that the <br /> spirit of slavery long survives its existence <br /> as an institution. As to the condition of the the Immigrants <br /> he writes— “I know this Coolie Immigration to be the <br /> most atrocious & cruel form of the <br /> slave-trade slavery that has ever existed, since<br /> it is worse to capture people by fraud than by force, <br /> and a slave for life is in a far better position than <br /> a slave for a short period, because in the one <br /> case it is in the owner’s interest to care for him when <br /> sick; in the other to let him die off as soon as <br /> possible. The negroes themselves say the slaves <br /> were never treated as badly as the Coolies.”<br /> The subject appears to be of so much importance <br /> to the United States at the present time that I <br /> hope to be kindly excused for this pressing it[?] <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><br /></span> May I be allowed to suggest as one means <br /> of attracting public attention to it, that the <br /> Minute of the AntiSlavery Committee be published <br /> in some of your Periodicals & newspapers as early <br /> as may be.— Sincerely & very respectfully<br /> Joseph Cooper<br /><br /><div><br /><div>

Annotations
<p>The following passage is transcribed from a letter written by Joseph Cooper to Amy Post. The letter is dated February 16, 1870, and was sent from Joseph Cooper’s home in Walthamshaw, Essex Hall. While the nature of Cooper’s relationship with Post is ambiguous, it is evident that Cooper hoped Post would share his enthusiasm for the abolitionist cause. <br /> As written in his obituary published in the Anti-Slavery Reporter, a journal that Cooper frequently contributed to as the Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, “his name, to a larger number of his countrymen, was comparatively unknown, but this was mainly due to the unostentatious manner in which he labored for suffering humanity”<a title="">[1]</a>. During a career spanning from 1830 up until his death in December 1881, Joseph Cooper worked tirelessly to eliminate the institution of slavery which he saw as a heinous violation of his Quaker faith<a title="">[2]</a>. Joseph Cooper’s commitment to abolishing slavery in all forms is evidenced in his most famous book, <em>The Lost Continent: Slavery and the Slave-Trade in Africa 1875, </em>which has been translated into French and German. Other notable works of his include a widely distributed pamphlet titled “Turkey and Egypt, past and present, in relation to Africa”, as well as numerous articles published in the Anti-Slavery Reporter<a title="">[3]</a>. <br /> Cooper’s letter to Post is significant for several reasons, but his transatlantic perspective proves invaluable to historians studying how the institution persisted following the United States’ antebellum period, and following England’s Slave Trade act of 1807. The slave-trade, despite national denouncements of slavery was “probably as great as it has been at any previous time”<a title="">[4]</a>.</p>

<pre> Ithaca N.Y.
Jan 20th 1870
Mrs Post,
Dear friend,
I wrote you from Angola enclosing prepaid envelope addressed to me in Ithaca also enclosing twenty five cents as a membership fee entitling me to the privileges of the "union"
As I have not heard from you yet I thought possibly you might not have received the letter or that your numerous cares had overburdened you so that you had not had time to reply;
I would like to get one or more of the circulars if it would be convenient. We are living here in a rented house at present but hope to have a place of our own soon. We are all in usual health. Excuse brevity

We hope that neither <br />is the case, but that, instead, <br />he will ere long be comforted <br />by a line from you saying <br />that all is right.<br />Dear Sister Amy, we <br />remember our visit with <br />you and with Isaac most<br />gratefully. Often have we had <br />occasion to bless heaven for <br />your existence, but it seems
to me that never before
were we favored with such
sweet and soulful communion
with you as at the last
visit. May you both be blessed
by ^the^ presence of peace and that
joy which "unspeakable and
full of glory", during all the
journey toward the golden
sunset gates.
The good work of emancipation
is going forward. The
Woman's Journal is started in
Boston, and a beautiful sheet
it truly is. That and the Revolution
will each reach its
own public , and I hope both will
succeed. My preferences are
still strong for "The American
Suffrage Association' which was
started in Cleveland, and I want
to see the new paper largely
patronized. It is just
the hightoned, ably conducted
publication that the Cause
now stands in need of.
With much love to each

to be cordially remembered to

11/28/6[7]<br />Dear All I have just got through<br />making preparations for a good<br />Thanksgiving dinner and wonder-<br />ing whether we should eat it all<br />ourselves or be gratified by having<br />some of our friends to share it with<br />not having invited any except our<br />children and it being a litle bit<br />rainy fear they will disappoint - us<br />I thought of your family gathering <br />with one accord and how pleasant<br />it would be if you could [step?] in<br />here and would we not all enjoy<br />a real heartfelt Thanksgiving It<br />seems to me we should It is so<br />long since we have written much but I<br />cannot believe it has been from any<br />diminution of love but from the pres-<br />sure of other things wh[ich] clamor for<br />attention to say the truth I have never<br />been so wholey engrossed my faculty<br />for accomplishing diminished & small <br />things are magnified We never had so<br />good a visit from W & Mary before we enjo<br />-yed it very much and after them the<br />next day our friend Cyrus Peirce came
and we went the round of visiting <br />with him very agreeably his conversation<br />is instructive mostly on religious subjects<br />making religion very easy and simple <br />Stephen & Matilda expected to have gone yes<br />-terday to visit him and others attend [2 M?]<br />etc., etc. but Matilda was sick with headache and<br />they could not go Phebe Johnson has gone to <br />Pa.to stay the winter James & Lucretia as <br />you know have been to Boston then to Brook<br />-lyn we went on 7 day to see and be with <br />them some staid until 2nd day found her just <br />as lovely and interesting but she said when I asked <br />her particularly how she was steadily loosing a little <br />can take so very little nourishment it is a wonder<br />she can speak so much The church was packed and <br />very many we heard could not get in and the interest <br />continued to the end very many pressed forward <br />to express their thanks for her discourse and the sent<br />-iment as heard by the congregation as they passed <br />out was "<span style="text-decoration:underline;">that</span> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">was</span> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">the</span> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">gospel"</span> others that was grand <br />and she practices what she preaches we got a <br />morning paper but found only a very meager sketch with <br />some errors the person does not do her justice leaving <br />out the most impressive parts [she] makes her say oh for another hour to speak to the young women she said so many subjects crowded on her which it was impossible<br />for her more than to briefly notice. Oh for an other hour <br />but the clock has warned me I have already occupied<br />too much time I will send the sketch for what it is <br />worth There was an elegant basket of flowers on the desk<br />in front of her after meeting Chadwick presented it to her from some friend the flowers were the rare rich<br />product of the green house we dined with them <br />and then to Friends [M?] she was very tired but said <br />she wanted to go but [hoped] to be [silent] the [M] quite <br />small she spoke 1/2 hour but with evident weakn <br />-ess some one brought her water [which] made it more <br />easy after M so we called on Louisa Frost wh[ich] added to <br />the walk on getting home she was entirely exhaust- <br />ed I asked her 7 day eve if she thought it wise to <br />do as she had been doing at Boston and as she plan-<br />ned to do the ensuing day and week Why no <br />but I want to do it before I die and I feel as tho <br />that might happen almost any time yet I enjoy<br />life I love my family & friends and a great deal <br />I would like to go to aid the [fight?] and the <br />world is very beautiful to me but I have no fear
<p>of the future They went home on 2nd day on 3 day they expected Lord & Lady Amberley to spend the day and she had written home to have seve- ral others invited to meet them Fannie Caven- <br />er who was the only one at home had been with E M Davis to call on them in a letter said I think grandma it is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">you</span> they want to see" (Maria [Dav-]<br />is from home) They met wirh them in boston They<br />had a letter of introduction to Lucretia from J<br />Stewart Mill L said they seemed interested in <br />all the reformatory and liberal movements<br />of the age and I have heard the Lady said to<br />a person after hearing L speak at Longfellows church she felt that was enough to pay her for cro-<br />ssing the ocean He is Lord John Russels son<br />She is Lord [?] daughter and granddaughter<br />to the present premier of England on the next<br />equal rights and Peace meetings to be on<br />Thanksgiving day after that I hope they<br />will rest a little [?] Lord said we<br />wish mother would take care of herself<br />we feel selfish and want to keep her as<br />long as we can They were at Baltimore Y. M.<br />I never saw such a woman her interest in<br />everything George and Pattie talk of buying a<br />house at Orange she went with them to see<br />it entering into everything relating to it and<br />said I hope thee will not attempt to fit the carpets again Oh said Patties mother took it<br />all in has them all planned L said that<br />does not hurt me to sit on a bench and piece <br />I like it There will be one advantage in going<br />to Orange they will be more among strangers<br />and will not be burdened by so many callers<br />L said I feel it to be burden <span style="text-decoration:underline;">now</span> You may<br />smile at my items and think me silly to<br />note them but I wish you were here I would<br />come into the very life of this greatest of<br />women who I fear has nearly reached the<br />summit of her earth life She is as really <br />and truly a messiah to this age as the<br />messiahs who have gone before but<br />like them is not understood or appreciated</p>

<p> Alex. Va. Nov. 24th, '69</p>
<p>My Dear Friend</p>
<p> I was made glad today by</p>
<p>the reception of several letters from Western</p>
<p>N.Y. Thine Amy the best, but I was shocked</p>
<p>at the sad news contained in thine of Gerty</p>
<p>Coleman's death. What a loss to Mrs. C, as</p>
<p>Gerty was nearly her all. It is a very, very sad</p>
<p>bereavement. But I am seeing daily the</p>
<p>saddest of sights, I hope that I shall not</p>
<p>become so familiar with suffering that I</p>
<p>shall be harder & unfeeling. Let me tell</p>
<p>you of today. This A.M. I went through the brick</p>
<p>house where the sick are and the School House.</p>
<p>Yesterday morning a col<sup>d </sup>man was found dead<sup></sup></p>
<p>in the street near here. There was a boy lying</p>
<p>dead in the S. House today. No dead in the</p>
<p>brick house, but some very sick & will die soon.</p>
<p>Many of them were out of food. In one room are</p>
<p>several sick women, they were huddled round the</p>
<p>fireplace over a handfull [sic] of coals. One has been</p>
<p>sick a long time. I think she has Consumption</p>
<p>she is much emaciated. She had on an old cotton</p>

<p>shirt perhaps an under garment & a small</p>
<p>cape about her neck, & one other was not much</p>
<p>better off. I felt that I must get something for her,</p>
<p>but while we were there a load of wood came &</p>
<p>when it was distributed there were 2 or 3 sticks for each</p>
<p>room. I might tell you of another house where there</p>
<p>was great distribution. When I went out to go to these pla-</p>
<p>ces a soldiers funeral was passing 15 or 20 men</p>
<p>comprised (?) the procession. he had died in a hospital</p>
<p>probably, I engaged a nice woman to go to W. she</p>
<p>has a baby a few months old. but a lady there says she</p>
<p>will take her. There are several fine houses near me</p>
<p>but they are occupied by secesh. But the sight of</p>
<p>this shivering, emaciated creature had made me</p>
<p>feel brave. I resolved to get her something if possi-</p>
<p>ble. So I called on Mrs. Adams & told the case.</p>
<p>She wished to know at once if she was col<sup>d </sup>& a con-</p>
<p>traband. I admitted that she was. Mrs. A. said she</p>
<p>had nothing for her, they need'nt [sic] have left their</p>
<p>comfortable houses & those that brought them</p>
<p>away might take care of them now. If she</p>
<p>was a white woman she wd [sic] relieve her, but she had</p>
<p>nothing for the Contrabands, & she was quite</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 3)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>short about it. -- Then I went to Mr. Dan-</p>
<p>gerfields, was shown into a very splendid par-</p>
<p>lor & when Mrs. D. appeared and I told her the case, she</p>
<p>asked if the woman was col<sup>d </sup>& a Contraband, &</p>
<p>said she sh.[sic] have staid [sic] at her comfortable home,</p>
<p>but said she had already given away all that she</p>
<p>had & had nothing for her. But she was very pleas-</p>
<p>ant & lady like, so I didn't prolong my begging</p>
<p>expedition, but called to see 'Abe Linktim's' (?)</p>
<p>mother & aunt Letty who is lame. Then I called</p>
<p>to ask Dr. Ripley to go & see a very sick woman. He was</p>
<p>so short & indifferent in his replies & remarks, that</p>
<p>I am angered with him & feel confident they</p>
<p>will not get much help from him, if he is paid</p>
<p>$80 a month by Gov<sup>t </sup> to look after these people.</p>
<p>He says his other patients must be attended to first.</p>
<p>On my return I saw the funeral procession of a</p>
<p>citizen. The mourners in elegant hacks follow-</p>
<p>ing a fine hearse & splendid coffin. The hearse</p>
<p>is mostly of glass so that you can see the coffin.</p>
<p>Then a soldiers funeral came into the</p>
<p>street. A open (?) coffin in a rude (?) ambulance</p>
<p>about 20 rough looking soldiers with it, no music,</p>
<p>& then the processions went side by side on their</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 4)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>way to the cemetery. The contrast was very painful.</p>
<p>Then the husband of a lady who has been here a few days</p>
<p>to see him, died in the Wolfe St. hospital this</p>
<p>A.M. They will not allow her to take him home</p>
<p>& he is to be buried tomorrow. & she wants a woman</p>
<p>or two to go with her to the grave, & Mrs. Winsor & I</p>
<p>intend to go. Such painful incidents are</p>
<p>constantly occuring [sic] & every day we witness</p>
<p>more (?) suffering among white & colored.</p>
<p>Last Friday I went to nearly all the places</p>
<p>where the contrabands are with Mr. G & Mrs. W,</p>
<p>who had been requested by the Pro. Marshall to get</p>
<p>the numbers of these people. It took most of</p>
<p>the day. A Phil<sup>a </sup>gentleman was with us as part of the</p>
<p>P.M.?? We went in an ambulance, it was rainy, &</p>
<p>muddy, wherever we had to get out. The driver was</p>
<p>mad because we were visiting col<sup>d </sup>folks & he tore</p>
<p>over the rough streets like all possessed. Some of</p>
<p>the paving stones here are as large as a half bushel.</p>
<p>I thought we should be all bruised & broken to pieces</p>
<p>but we found 1230 (?) contrabands ^ who I gave rations ^ about half</p>
<p>of these are at work. _______ I think Capt. Wyann (?)</p>
<p>is trying to make some attempt to better their</p>
<p>condition. _____On Saturday I went to Washington</p>
<p>in an ambulance over the long Bridge & a dan-</p>
<p>gerous bridge it is. ____ I went with Mr. G & we brought</p>
<p>back quite a load of things, but what we want most</p>
<p>we cant [sic] get. We went to the Home for the Contra-</p>
<p>bands then hoping we cd [sic] get something we needed</p>
<p>most, but they are the very things they need too.</p>

I assure thee that it would be a great joy to me to meet so large a number of revered men and women in convention as are appended to the call, but I find myself asking the question, have all these wise Men & Women deliberately agreed to have this a delegate convention ? Well be that as it may, allow me to say that with my present light and experience I cannot but seriously regret it, It seems to me like starting a grand project with planting the very seed of death to the movement What you wish, no doubt, is to reach the ears and hearts of the people, and I believe this ^call^ cannot be done without first causing them to feel and understand that we accept them as one with us, and are desired to come in and work with us, all alike responsible. I think dear friend that the spirit of freedom and equalityhas grown taken root, and grown up too tall with the mass of the people, for them to accept of any outside position, They surely will soon grow weary of being seated out oneside, admitted as mere listen ers_ no rights_ no vote - no voice Oh! I do not want to be an outsider in this glorious cause, I want to be folded and sheltered in your beneficent arms and loving hearts, but now can I go back into the bondage of exclusiveness, even in company with those who I look up to, as so superior in good word and works. Our little Equal Suffrage association, will meet next Tuesday when the appointment of delegates will be presented and considered. what action will be taken I cannot say, but we are all quite tired of the red tape systim [sic] of doing business. I trust dear friend, my freedom of expression will be received with kindness, as nothing but my love for the cause, and a sincere desire to see, and do the right has prompted me to define my position.

<p> Oct. 26. 1869<br /> Box 299 P.O. New York<br /> Isaac & Amy Post<br /> Rochester Dear friends<br /> N.Y There is to be a<br /> Convention in Cleveland, as you will<br /> see by the enclosed Call, to form an<br /> American Woman Suffrage Association,<br /> which will not attack the 15<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><sup>th</sup></span> Amendment<br /> nor complicate the question of Woman<br /> Suffrage with side issues.

Annotations
Lucy Stone, a woman’s rights activist, writes from New York City to fellow activists, Isaac and Amy Post. Stone refers to the 1869 split in the woman's suffrage movement. Stone and others continued to campaign for the rights of black men, while Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton argued exclusively for women's rights. Stone refers to the American Anti-Slavery Society formed in 1833. Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson was the editor of the <em>Atlantic Monthly</em> and a reformer. Reverend James Freeman<br /> Clarke, Julia Ward Howe and Mary A. Livermore were all equal rights activists.

New York Isaac & Amy Post Rochester Dear friends N.Y 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 delegation & 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 meeting 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 May A.
