's Rights Convention at
Saratoga, which I should very much rejoice to attend.

Heartily and hastily yours,
THEODORE PARKER.

SYRACUSE, _June 13, 1855_.

DEAR FRIEND:--I like your call to the Convention at Saratoga, and
I shall endeavor to be there on my return from Massachusetts,
where I deliver an oration on education on the 8th of August. By
all means put Judge Hay's name on the Central Committee. Invite
Theodore Parker without delay.

In great haste, but very truly yours,
SAMUEL J. MAY

PHILADELPHIA, _Sixth Mo., 11, 1855_.

MY DEAR SUSAN B. ANTHONY:--Returning home, I hasten to answer thy
letter forwarded to me a week ago by sister M. C. Wright. It is
always with regret that I have to answer any letter of the kind
in the negative. But the time fixed for the Saratoga Convention
renders it impracticable for me to be present. My husband and I
hope to attend the National Convention at Cincinnati in October.
Thy active interest and exertions in this cause are greatly
cheering. We are doing little hereaway. Pennsylvania is always
slow in every reformatory movement. We have circulated many of
the pamphlets.

Wishing you all success at the convention, and sure of thy "great
recompense and reward,"

I am thine affectionately,
LUCRETIA MOTT.

BOSTON, _June 6, 1855_.

DEAR FRIEND:--I have kept your letter by me, and omitted to
reply, hoping, and indeed expecting, that though I give up all
but two or three routine and neighboring engagements in the
summer. I might plan so as to accept yours. But I find I can not
come as you ask. My summer months must be devoted otherwise. I
hope you will not nickname me _No_, for my so constantly using
that monosyllable to you. Indeed, I will try to oblige you next
winter.

With much regard, yours truly,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
