hense my (unwilling) silence and I get need rest - rest rest. I wrote 10 days ago to Mrs. Myra Bradwell, & Mrs. Foster Avery.

On various subjects connected with N.C. of Women.

I have no influence whatever with Mrs. Faucett: she goes in for spinster suffrage only & the work in different directions.

Mrs. Stanton Blatch is expecting her new baby this month.

Your photographs were most welcome - & are valued - are placed now on a ledge in our Dr. [drawing] room.

I am going this evening to give an address to the (90) girls at my old school.
