                                      Auburn Sept. 27th. 1853

My dear friend ^Amy (Kirby) Post^ 

   Amy Post
           I have been requested to say to

you, that in case any persons are [going] to [the] Convention in Cleveland, via Buffalo, if they will make known their destination at the Office in Buffalo at the time of paying their fare thence to Cleveland (which will be [$]4) they will be furnished with a commutation [card] on which their name will be written in full, and which will have on the back of [it] a Certificate in blank to be filled [up] and signed by the presiding Officer of the Convention. The possess- ion of this, duly signed, will entitle the person whose name it may bear to return to Buffalo without further payment of [fare]. 

            I [wished] to inform Susan B. Anthony

but thought it doubtful whether she was at home. If she is, will you be good enough to let her know 

           And [oblige]
                                     Your friend
                                                              M. C. Wright
                         ^Martha Coffin Pelham Wright^
