_And Thirty-five other Women of West Auburn, Pa_. KENNETT SQUARE, PA. DEAR MRS. STANTON:--The deep interest I feel in the subject to be considered in your Convention, prompts me to an expression of my sympathy in the movement. May you be able to speak God's truth in tones that shall arouse a nation's heart to a prompt performance of a nation's duty, will be the earnest prayer of many who are not privileged to meet with you in solemn convention.
