Dear Miss Stone Blackwell
I am hoping that Miss Barry-Blackwell
& yourself may care to see these words
sent to me by a friend who has
just returned. "The delightful lifes 
story" of Mrs Lucy Stone. I am
returning "Lucy  Stone", what a beautiful 
life's story. What a wonderful
woman - & how indomitable. You
cannot imagine all she went through -
in order to make the world a better 
place to live in - for women & indeed,
for all people. We dont really know
what hardships are. I do like her
view of the hereafter, & the calm happy
way she faced her end. [Even?] at
this distance, you feel her charm"
Thank you very much for your letter
of this morning. I am very sorry to 
hear of Miss Barry-Blackwell illness
E. B. Ransom

& must [sincerely?] hope she is better
now. "Jock" must be a very happy
dog. I quite believe he knows
how much he is loved & cared for.
We have very rough stormy weather
with a deep fall of snow yesterday.
I hope I shall not tire you with
my little talk but I did want
to tell you how much the book
is appreciated.
With very kindest thoughts &
many thanks for all the kindness
both from you & Miss Barry-Blackwell
Very Sincerely yours
E.B. Ransom.
