Feb. 13. 1906.
To Miss Alice Stone Blackwell.
Esteemed Friends.
At Christmas, a friend sent
me a year's subscription to the "Woman's
Journal". This was Mrs. Jaurier, a friend
of my cousin, Miss Emily A. Buren of
2155 West Adams Street, Los Angeles, Cal.
For three weeks past, two numbers of
the "Woman's Journal" have reached me, ^each week and
I think that by some mistake, my name
must have been repeated in your subscription
list:- I therefore write to have the error corrected.
In more prosperous days, we used to take
the paper, but of late I have not been able
to do as I wished, and continue it.  But it
is a waste to have two copies which I cannot

use to advantage of the good cause.
I remember well a day spent at
thy home, when thy sainted mother
was living, I think, in 1872.  I have never
forgotten her, or her noble life.  I am
now in my 85th. year, and it cannot
be long ere I shall follow her and many
other dear friends; but the work she did
will never be lost to womankind and to
our race.  I am thankful to know that her
daughter is engaged in the same mission to
Humanity, and that her husband still
talks with her as when both were together.
Thanking you both, I am very truly
her friend and yours, and the friend of mankind,
Graceanna Lewis.
