Goodale, John H.


Manchester (N H) June 24th
Miss Lucy Stone --
In a letter you
addressed to me from Maine, 
last February, you partially
engaged to lecture before 
the Free Democratic Lyceum 
of this City the coming Winter.
We are to occupy a new Hall,
the largest in the State, which 
will be finished before the middle
of November.  We wish to secure
you for the opening lecture of the 
course, about the middle of 
November.  We will pay you
[??] for the Lecture, beside 
the opportunity of as many
succeeding lectures as you may 
think proper to give, as your 
own responsibility.  I will also,
if requested, make an arrange

meant with the Concord
and Nashua Free Democratic
Lyceums so that 
you can address them
without any loss of 
time or additional 
expense. 
Please to reply at
your earliest convenience.
New Hampshire affords 
a fine field for effort 
the present year.  WE
prefer that your subject
should be "The rights of 
Woman."
Yours Respectfully
John H. Goodale
