ry to send you only this dry morsel, a stone
when you want bread, but I can only give you my earnest wishes,
though I will not fail to do my best. I have already sent your
letter to a rich friend, who has _reformed_ all her life, but I
do not know at all how she stands on the woman question. Believe
me, dear Miss Anthony,

Sincerely yours, SARAH B. SHAW.

DEAR LYDIA:-- ... I am just in from Staten Island, where Mrs. Gay
had $10 from Frank Shaw waiting for me. I went on purpose to go
to Mrs. Shaw, and persevered; the glorious result is $150 more.
Such a splendid woman; worthy the noble boy she gave in the war,
and worthy her noble son-in-law, George William Curtis. Lydia, we
shall go on to triumph in Kansas! The St. Louis _Democrat_
publishes Mr. Curtis' speech in full, with a splendid editorial.
The St. Louis _Journal_ gives the speech and the _Democrat's_
editorial "as a matter of news." I have 60,000 tracts now going
to press; all the old editions were gone, and we have to begin
new with an empty treasury; but I tell them all, "go ahead;" we
must, and will, succeed.

Affectionately yours, SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

DEAR MISS ANTHONY:--Mrs. Severance desires me to inclose to you
this check, $50, and say that it is a contribution by friends at
and about Boston, to aid you in the good work of reconstruction
on the subject of woman's right to the ballot in Kansas.

Yours truly, T. C. SEVERANCE.

DEAR MR. PILLSBURY:--You may be very sure I would have answered
Susan's letter sooner if I had been able to inclose any such sum
as she hoped to obtain. All that I can do is to inclose a draft
for $30--ten from our daughter Eliza, ten from William and Ellen,
and ten from myself.... We can only feel grateful for the
self-sacrificing labors of those who have gone to Kansas, and
hopeful that better success may attend the efforts there, than
