used to on the Antislavery platform and I was rejoiced to find her when again her husband followed in a few perti- nant remarks commenced half past nine o'clock, but was well received. Lucy's 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 major- ity of us reject the boon, we will have a twenty years more of labors 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
