Dear Mrs. Robinson
I want to say to you, with
entire kindness but decidedly, that
I must decline all, and any participation
in the suffrage history which Miss Stanton
and Susan Anthony are preparing.
I wrote this, at the very beginning, in
answer to Miss Stanton's request that I
would furnish facts of myself and of my work - and I wrote her
the reasons why I should not.
I must therefore beg you not to
mention the subject to me again.
I am more than content to be
left entirely out of any history
those ladies may publish of
the suffrage work. Though I understand
how natural it is that
they should prefer to write theirStatement of their connexion
with Geo. Francis Train. Mrs. Woodhull
Lance D Train and the
Mormons. and that they should
be glad to get you, and other
women, who had only regret for
this action in combining with
those persons, to appear with them
in the history.
Very truly yours
Lucy Stone
