Dear friend Lucy Stone|

I have acted in
accordance with thy
wishes "with alacrity" and
have engaged Hampton
Hall for the evening of
Thursday Oct 13th for
Lucy Stone to hold a
meeting in on "Womans Rights"
& also the same [for]
Friday evening conditionally --
this if the
proprietor has an
application for it on

P.S. I [?] a piece of news cut from this mornings
Republicans curious how they got it.

Friday evening he
is to notify me &
I am to take it
positively or relinquish
all claims.

The regular price
is $10 an evening-
but we have had
it from $8 for the
proprietor says if
he has no applications
for the use of the hall
at that time for a
series of meetings - do

Exhibitions & he will
make the reduction
to the cause - but if
he has an opportunity
to let the hall - at the
usual cost - he will
have to charge the 
same to you - Shall
I engage it for Friday
Evening, 13th October?

I am glad you are 
coming here I think
you may be able 
to rally a strong
force for the rights of 
woman.
