NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, 17 MADISON ST., ROCHESTER, N.Y. Rochester, NY. Feb. 28, 1906 Alice Stone Blackwell, Boston, Mass My Dear Miss Blackwell -- Mrs. Gannett was kind enough to write me about the accident that Aunt Mary had and that Aunt Susan was not so well so I came to see them on the first train possible. There have been many statement in the papers concerning Aunt Susan -- that she has had apoplexy and paralysis and all kinds of things, so won't you please say for us, in the Journal, that while she has been quite ill and is at present suffering from a slight attack of pneumonia, on the whole she is very much better and the doctors are perfectly confident that he splendid constitution is going to see her safely through this attack. She has been gaining steadily every day since I came and now begins to ask questions about the outside world and wants to know how everything is going on. Several times during the day I read to her bright and cheery little things which are said in the many, many letters which come to her daily and tell her all the things which I know will make her happy. The cause, with a big "C", is much in her mind all the time, even though she has been so ill, and any little item I can tell her of friendly interest in it or os anyone helping on with the finances, sends a glow pf pleasure over her face and helps her to have a restful sleep after it. She has two good nurses and everything possible is being done for her comfort. She never forgets for a moment to try and save the nurses all she can and has a loving, grateful greeting for her good doctor every time she appears, which has been two or three times a day so far. Now, my dear Miss Blackwell, I will be every so glad if you can make a little paragraph from this letter for the Journal, and please add a work of thanks form Aunt Susan to all of the good and dear friends who have sent letters and telegrams of congratulation on her birthday and loving and friendly letters since her illness. After a few weeks and when she is able she will doubtless send word to one and all, Yours very truly, Lucy E.

August 31, 1912. Dear Miss Levien, Your letter of August 16 has been received. I was much interested in getting out that special advertising, program Journal, and believe that we could have made a splendid thing of it, and think that in that form of paper we might have secured even more profit ($1750) than we did for the Magazine program which we got our for the Bazaar here last Winter. However as Miss Blackwell's comment cannot be gained it is our loss. So far as the program supplement is concerned --you see to have that pure and simple would cut out entirely our advertising magazine sheet (programme I mean) and so far as I can see would be perfectly useless--it would be an extra expense to have it printed in Boston, and would be a most unwieldy size for a program if it were the size of the Journal. I can see absolutely nothing to be gained by it, and much loss. I wonder whether you realize that you have never answered my inquiry as to whom you have interviewed here for advertising for the Journal--I wrote asking you--for it is very necessary that we do not attack the same people. There is nothing a firm so much resents as being asked twice for seemingly the same thing. I think that I also suggested that it would be only fair under the circumstances-- I having been commissioned by the Official Board to get ads for the Magazine Program, that I have a free field up to a certain date at least--do you not agree with me in this? I really feel that it is one of the finest opportunities the Journal has ever had to take up with the idea of the special number for the Convention, and that in that should be the advertising which I am sure could be secudre for a Magazine Program--Fear this is not clear--I mean have the special number take the place of Magazine Program and have in it all the advertising. The probabilities are that much of this advertising might be gotten for the special numner to last for several months--and possibly become annual--but-- I am awfully sorry--I had planned for it more than I realized anx still think it a great plan. It seems to me that supplement would be neither good herring, codfish or program. You see I simply must work on the thing I was asked to do, and cannot wait longer--but do tell me about the advertising solicitations you have had made here. I think you are making the Journal much more interesting--it is losing its local character, and seems to be getting a gleam of national outlook. Sincerely, Lucy E. Anthony Moylan, Penn. January 30, 1916. My dear Mrs . Algeo. Your letter to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was received some days ago . She was very ill with phnemonia at the time, but I am happy to be able to tell you that she is now recovering, and we are hoping tat she will be able to start South within ten days or so. I think it will be doubtful where she is able to so any speaking before May, but when she is able to look over the calls for meetings, and able to decide on when she will make out a speaking route you will hear from her I am sure. I do not believe there is any one who would do more to rouse suffrage sentiment that Miss Shaw and those who can secure her services are most fortunate. Sincerely . Lucy E Anthony Private secretary. 21 Ashmont Street, Melrose 76, Mass. , April 2, 1945 Apr 1944 last letter Mr. Luther B. Anthony, 607 Front Street, Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Mr. Anthony: A year ago last summer when Miss Lucy was at the Strath Haven Inn at Swarthmore, she and I had a good deal of correspondence about some material she had which she hoped would be of interest to the Woman's Rights Collection at Radcliffe College. At that time I made a complete folder for her of the material we then had about Dr. Anna Howard Show, Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Stanton. She thought at first that she would supplement our material with some of her papers, then wrote to us that she would send things from time to time as she went through her papers. In her letter of May 17th she asked if "a small brooch having belonged to Dr. Shaw would be acceptable?" I wrote to her to say that we would be delighted to have whatever she could find and that eventually we hope she would turn over all her papers to the Radcliffe collection. Now I am hoping that you and Miss Ann Anthony, who I believe is now Mrs. Bacon, will fell like handing on to us for our very important collection, whatever would be of interest to research scholars in the years ahead. Miss Anthony was a devoted admirer of Mrs. Maud Wood Park, who has founded the collection at Radcliffe. We are now planning to close the collection this summer again future additions, but before setting the final date I would so much like to know whether we can count on Miss Lucy's papers. Cordially yours, Mrs. Guy W. Stantial Sylvania Hotel Philadelphia, Pa. April 21, 1944 My dear Mrs. Stantisl: I was ever so glad to receive your letter and the information it contained and right now I will have to say that most of what I give must be tentative, as I am not sure when I can go out to my home and many things which I will be sending are there. First, as to copies I would like to have, I'd love a copy of the two letters in the glass case of which you speak, one written by Miss Anthony and the other by Dr. Shaw, and I note that you are going to send them to me with copies of the other letters I may request. May I say right here, I really see no reason for keeping that poem which you enclosed. However, if you do that is all right. It seems too meaningless and might lead to misunderstanding among students or young people. On the Anna Howard Shaw sheet I have checked 8a anonymous note to Dr. Shaw, April 30, 1917 and 12a. If you have listed a copy of "THE STORY OF A PIONEER" I have missed it, but I am sure I sent one to you. 19 - you ask whether you sent a copy of this. No, you did not. On the Susan B. Anthony Page. I would very much like to see the New York Times Magazine article "She Blazed the Trail for Suffrage," on April 12, 1925. As regards the Christian Science Monitor, I have had a long siege with the MONITOR, and I enclose a copy of what they finally published as to a "few corrections and inaccuracies." Mrs. Catt had sent me a copy of my letter to the Monitor. I think the first paragraph of her article will answer you question as to whether Miss Anthony was ever pelted with decayed vegetables and eggs. I think you must have the same love for Chilmark, I was perfected enchanted with the place, and have so often wished I had taken advantage of buying an acre or two of ground there -- seems to me it was 20¢ an acre or something like that. Is it not the quaintest Page No. 2 place imaginable, and one feels a hundred years back in civilization. An uncle of mine was married in Marthas Vineyard, and while we were there happened to meet a Mr. Smith who knew all about the wedding and told me all about it as though it had been but yesterday. Then I remember the postman coming toward us one day and holding a card and saying "she ain't coming to see you today. Don't look for her. This card tells you all about it." Then, do they still have the same method with the groceries-- where you go into the store, select what you want, take it with you, but leave a little note saying what you have bought? I think the thing that impressed me more, perhaps than anything else was their saying when I made some remark about not locking doors, they said "we never locked up anything here until after the Methodist Conference held its meetings on the Island." I would certainly love to go back to Marthas Vineyard for a visit. Thank you so much for your newsy letter and all the interesting things you tell me and a little later I will send you other articles relating to Aunt Susan and Dr. Shaw. Sincerely yours, Lucy E Anthony Moylan, Penn. January 7, 1916 My dear Mrs. Catt, The enclosed telegram came some nights ago and you will please note my reply. I do not know whether this was used in any way or not. Please return when convenient, for I suppose some day in the distant future Miss Shaw will wish to see it. Your letter concerning the Publishing Company is here this morning- it will be impossible to consult Miss Shaw about it- she is not as yet even sitting up in bed and we are keeping everything we possibly can from her, which might in any fashion prove exciting. She herself thought of the meeting of the Publishing Company and said she wished to send her proxy- saying she would make her mark- but last night she spoke of it again and when I suggested that as I had Power of Attorney I might do it for her she signed it herself. It certainly would seem that the matter of not printing for the Congressional Union would be obviated by electing a President of the Company who is not so decidedly pro-union as is Mrs. Field - but that I supposed could not have been done earlier. Miss Shaw has been very much discouraged the last few days feeling that she is not gaining strength - but I rather think this is partly due to the fact that she tries more to move and is discovering how very weak she is. I rather think that it would do Miss Shaw good to hear of the Southern plan. I now hope that she will be able to go by the first of February, but feel a little doubtful about it. Sincerely, Lucy E. Anthony [*[?] Anna Howard Shaw*] New York. January 1, 1916 Report here that the refusal of yourself and Mrs. Medill McCormick to consider any compromise between the National and Congressional Union has caused division in the National ranks regarding Federal that because of this the suffragists are asking Mrs. Catt to evolve some plan to uinte the organizations in Federal work or permit Union to do this--also that members of the National feel that Union is sapping its life in State work by [?] by capturing its workers and money--that it was impossible for you to both speak and keep hold of National work--that the National members feel it should have a constructive political policy--this of course is contrary to your many years of suffrage labor--it is not following these lines of work. Do you feel that the National will improve things or injure the cause. Leaders insist that unless harmony prevails in Washington work success is impossible What do you think of this--do you thunk there is a suffragist in this country who can solve this problem. Will you please tell us. New York Press. To New York Press,- New York City. January 2, 1916. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw ill with phneumonia and can receive no messages but am sure she would reply that Mrs. Catt and the National Board can adequately solve the problems to which you refer. Lucy E. Anthony. Moylan, Penna. November 7, 1928 My dear Mrs. Catt, Since receiving your letter I have red the Dorr book to the finish- and as I read I margined--lies, lies, partial lies false statement-evident perversions of the truth, untrue statement-fabrication in order to paint what the author had in mind etc, etc. I wonder what your reaction to the book is now that you probably have read it through. I think that the last of it is the most pernicious-where she gives Alice Paul and the Congressional Union the credit of the passing of the 19th Amendment. Never even a hint of the work of the N. A. W. S. A. to gain more States either through full [or?] Presidential suffrage of the final gigantic work for general ratification and [that?] the climax in the stupendous effort for ratification in Tennessee. People say to me-I am reading the new book about your Aunt Susan-and I reply that if by purchasing the whold edition I could suppress its being read I would gladly do it. I wonder whether you have happened to read a small book-William Lloyd Garrison by John Jay Chapman. This book to my mind treats of past differences among those work for the sam good ends in the wholesome and dignified manner in which which they should be presented to present and future generations. In case you do not have it and wish to see it I'll send it to you. I wonder also whether you have happened to see a leaflet where Republican women are quoting as one of the achievements of the Republican Party--Woman Suffrage. It is to laugh. Such a screed as I am sending you! With sincere regards, [Lucy E. Anthony] Moylan, Penna, October 11, 1928 My dear Mrs. Catt, Being in Canada I somehow missed the announcement of the going away of Miss Hay - I was astounded to learn of this on my return-it is almost impossible to realize that this vibrant and vivid personality has passed. My first thought is of you and your great loss of her sympathetic companionship. I am so sorry. I wonder whether you have seen the biography of Aunt Susan by Rheta Child Dorr- It looks so to me as though she had written the book to make it a vehicle for varied the various disagreeable things -- attempting to tell of the parting of the ways of the two suffrage societies -- a seeming elucidation of the Beeche Tilton much scandal -- telling the world that Garritt Smith became insane - the belittling of many persons and associations - the glorification of Alice Paul - the lie that her society was the means of the winning of the 19th Amendment -- O hundreds of misrepresentations which it would take a volumn the size of the one she wrote to refute -- and ending with a reproduction of the caricature which Adelaide Johnson made in tons of marble nor resting in the crypt of the Capitol. I wonder whether it has struck any one else as it has me. I think you should sue either Miss Dorr or the publishers of her book for the terrible picture she has of you. How I wish I might discuss it with some one. Is there no redress for such a publication! I hope you are very well -- I am so rejoiced over all you do for th ending of war. with sympathy and sincere regards, Lucy E. Anthony Moylan, Penna. November 28, 1928 My dear Mrs. Catt, I have reread a part of Mrs. Dorr's book with a view to recounting some of the errors, as you suggested, for Mrs. Brown -- but come to sift out those in the first part of the book, although they are numerous, they are of such a character that their enumerating would not materially help in a review and would in most cases in order to make them effective require an explanation as to why they are inaccurate misleading and misrepresenting. A few instances; Aunt Susan did NOT have "rude health" -- she was realy a very delicate child. She was NOT raised an "Orthodox Quaker" buta Hicksite Friend" and there is as much difference between the two as between a Presbyterian and a Unitarian. She did NOTE but a "red shawl" on her first trip to Europe -- but a very beautiful India shawl and not a sign of red in it. Relatives did NOT "return old pieces of furniture - this was in the home and used and loved of course. She did NOT "have to be patient with the policy of the younger workers in her old age" but fled she had the best corps workers any organization was ever blessed with. She did NOTE loathe the title "Aunt Susan" but loved it. All garbled and untrue about breakfast and reception by Queen Victoria. Uncle Dan did NOT leave money to N!A!W!S!A! although Aunt Susan had asked him to. All of these are infinitesmal - but as I came a cross them and many more while reading the book they piled up and up--hills mountains. The misrepresentations in the Beecher Tilton affairs one cannot well touch other than uncovering quotations from Aunt Susan's diaries -- and as Aunt Susan strived so strenuously to avoid telling what she knew - this could not in fairness to her, be done. Mrs. Dorr knew that Aunt Susan did not wish her knowledge to come to light-yet she tries to ferrit it out. That Paxton Hibbons tried hard to get such data. You know as well as any one the inaccuracies as to the coming together of the two societies and that tissue of lies Mrs. Brown will be able to meet, although it does not seem as though any human being other than yourself could deal with it properly. If Mrs. Dorr wishes to know who led the fight for the 19th Amendment I recommend Woman Suffrage and Politics. Of course I feel dreadfully over the unjust -2- and unfair manner in which Woodrow Wilson and Miss Shaw are represented. When I read the chapter "Carry On" I simply seethe with indignation to think that a person could so distort the truth. That big parade in Washington was sponsored by the National as was the great petition of which she speaks. I could have given Mrs. Dorr some information--that the one Congress before which there was even a question of submitting our Amendment was when Alice Paul was Chairman of our Congressional Committee. At the time she was studying law in Penn University and when taken to task as to why she was not planning to submit it- she replied that she " was studying it to see whether it was constitutional!!! It never seemed to have occurred to her that Aunt Susan had had it written by a constitutional lawyer.- - December 14---Here I was called to New York and left this letter in the machine and since returning have been in bed most of the time with a severe cold. Miss Reilly has been with me for a week and I dictated the enclosed to Rosa- Miss R. carries with her always the dear little Corona which we gave her that belonged to Dr. Shaw-- Well I do not know that what I have written is even worth sending-but here it goes to you- I wonder whether you happened to see the enclosed imbecile editorial in the Times-and their review of Mrs. Dorr's book is asinine. What is the matter with the Times? While in bed I was reading some of Aunt Susan's diaries-at one town during the campaign in Kansas-some one told her that you were a better speaker than Miss Shaw, and another person that Miss Shaw was the better. Aunt Susan comments "They are both best". After "Fate" intervened so that Mrs. Harper could not at the time finish assembling the material for the book for Dr. Shaw I wrote out the enclosed To whom it may concern ^and put in [safety] [?] [note?] [?]. Perhaps you will find it of interest to read this- I really wish you might read at least in part this Mss. Nearly a page in it about Mrs. Belmont's garden at Newport! With sincere regards, Lucy E. Anthony And I paid her $1000 and board and room for five or six months and? (attach to Nov. 28, 1928 letter) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN After the going away of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw it began to be more and more impressed upon me that a sort of supplement to the Story of a Pioneer should be written, something which should tell of the great work she did after that story closed. As Mrs. Ida Husted Harper had written so acceptably that Life and Work of Aunt Susan, an exquisite bit telling of Anna Howard Shaw, and later such a remarkable resumé of suffrage work, it seemed as if she were the one to write this book. Negotiations were arranged, and Caroline I. Reilly and I gathered everything in the shape of material which we thought might possibly be of use, including letters from many people. Dr Shaw's which she had written to various persons, and extracts from six thousand which she had written me. The writing of this book was looked forward to with the greatest expectancy and hope by Miss Reilly and myself. The first chapter was read with bated breath, and the disappointment at the outset was very keen, as it seemed to reflect neither life nor vividness comparable to the subject and material. Chapter after chapter came, with seemingly no improvement or grasp of what was desired, only the bare collection of dates and events which seemed to grow ever less interesting and less to meet even a mediocre measure as a recital of the wonderfully vivid, valiant, vigorous and glorious life. During the writing, Mrs. Harper had mental lapses which increased and pointed to mental exhaustion. As I look back, this state of mind was upon her in less degree when she came to my home at Moylan, but showed that her ability was not adequate to the writing of the book; but as she had started it and had great patience in sorting the material I said nothing and intended to allow her to continue until it was all assembled, but Fate in the form of a nervous breakdown stepped in. Gradually it began to dawn upon me that Mrs. Harper for some cause was really incapable of writing the book, and disappointment grew in proportion, and when the realisation finally came that she could not do it and that our time and efforts had been in great part wasted and that the manuscript would have to be laid aside until the work could be taken up by some master hand, I shall have to confess to one of the greatest disappointments of my life - for as it now stands it is inane and banal to the last degree. And now to find the master hand and have the book written without letting Mrs. Harper ever really come to know how entirely inadequate she was to the task and to save her pride as much as possible!!
