NAWSA GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE ROBINSON, J.A.M.

J. A. M. Robinson writes from West
Brookfield, Mass., to Lucy Stone, Jan. 5,
1856:
Dear Lucy: We received a letter from
you yesterday, containing a request
for [the] a copy of the law regarding
the property of married women, + 
I am very glad that our State has
on her Statute Book such an
improved law, + happy also to

transcribe that law for one who perhaps 
moved the minds of men towards
this result more than any other
person. I am quite certain that,
if that "little woman" had not lifted
her voice in the Legislative Hall +
elsewhere, this law would not
now be known.xx
We have had a refreshing visit
from H.C. Wright. I think he is 
engaged in a very noble work. Those
terrible evils which he exposes
have borne upon women + children
long enough. It does my soul good
to hear his plain talk on the subject
+ decry the old time-worn ideas respecting 
parentage + kindred subjects. xx
Your dear good mother has just been
in. She appears very well this winter.
xx You talk of coming this way. When
will you come? Many warm hearts
are ready to greet you. We all want

to see you + hear your voice. H. C. 
Wright made a pilgrimage to "Boy's
Hill" on purpose to see "Lucy's Mother."
xx The children say "Aunt Lucy promised 
us the next letter". Its appearance 
is eagerly anticipated by
them.
