May 11, '39

Dear Mrs. Stontial-
I want to tell you how very much I enjoyed my evening with "Lucy Stone," and I hope you will tell the lady whose tickets I had.  My mother was a Pioneer lecturer and writer in behalf                       2.
of Suffrage, and was a 
personal friend of Lucy Stone
and a regular writer
for the Womans Journal.
   Though a much younger
woman she spoke on the
same platform with Lucy
Stone, Mary A. Livermore
and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
     I have some of the bills
advertising some of these 
meetings. So you caners- etc were awfully good- 
so natural!
      Miss Blackwell spoke so 
beautifully and her voice 
came out so well!
       It was fine to be there 
on the "First Night" and 
it will be a remembrance 
I am glad to have. 
    Very sincerely yours, 
    Winifred Miller Claflin

audience that was listening
