To the Editor of the Transcript: The statement made in your columns that "Mrs. Livermore was admitted to the convention and accorded the privilege of talking if she so desired, but forbidden the right to vote," is not correct.

Mrs. Livermore had her credentials from the town of Melsore presented and received a delegate's ticket in return for them. She was admitted as a delegate to the floor of the house with other delegates, and as a delegate, and voted on every question that came before the convention. I know this from personal knowledge.

Yours respectfully, LUCY STONE

My dear Mrs. May

You have seen in the Woman's Journal the plan we have to raise $10.000 with which to push the work of woman sufrage in this state.

Can you not undertake to raise $25 towards this amount?

I need not take your time or mine to urge the reasons. You know how all our precious things are in danger for the lack of power in the hands of woman - If we do not help ourselves who will help us.

[X?] Yours very truly, Lucy Stone

Dear Mrs. Blake

I am sorry not to see you - but a hard grip of rheumatism in the small of my back keeps me housed.

You have great reason to congrat= =ulate yourself on the success at Albany __ What a showing up of those changed votes can be made!

I was glad to see that you had a good meeting last night.

Yours for our case Lucy Stone
