My dear Mrs. Ames
I am sorry indeed
to hear that the summer has not
brought you renewed strength. Let 
us hope the coming home will do it.
The different members of the
N.E. Club drop in at No. 5 and
the hum that has come with the opening
of the Institute Fair gives back
quite the feeling that the winter work
has begun.
Mr. Broditch, Mrs. Sewall, Mrs. 
Channing, H.B.R. and I yesterday
had interviews with Cabot Lodge
and Henry Woodbury in behalf of
our cause in both parties. I [wanted]
wished you could have been
with us - It was an amicableinterview. Now we shall see what
will come of it. Mr. Broditch (?) told
Mr. Lodge he would not vote for
an anti-suffragist for Gov. Even
it were his own father. Was not
that good?
But I only sat down to say that
a check for $300 will not carry
us to the end of the yar. But when
Mrs. Vogt returns she will collect
from advertisements and
some money comes in all the time.
Always cordially yours,
Lucy StoneDorchester, Sept 15, 1883
