Rochester, N. Y. Feb. 22. [crossed out] 1896---

My dear Mrs. Stanford

At 6:00- -while my sister & I were at the tea-table- -a boy brought your telegram- -saying you had sent the passes to dear Mrs. Cooper- -and I wired back my thousand thanks- -but I meant to write them also- -and when I get to San Francisco I shall want to speak them too- -and as I said in my telegram- -I expect to reach there by March 6- -

It is slendid of you to thus renew your kindness of last spring & your dear devoted husband's to glorious Mrs. Stanton & me of 25 years ago! !- -I am writing the good news to Miss Shaw--I do hope the educational work we shall do will result in a majority of the voters casting their ballots for the amendment---

About the first thing on my arrival, I want an hour of your most valuable time to tell you how we can secure the end we all so much desire.

I do hope the Supreme Court decided in your favor--but I shall hear all about it when I meet you--Somehow--I have mssed seeing the decision--as I missed seeing you in Washington---

I am very busy getting my work picked up to be absent month-- I do not know how many of them--

I want tell [sic] you upon what hinges all our hopes--our very fate--but I cannot scribble it--nor could you take the time to read it--So my dear friend & best helper--Good Bye until we meet--

Gratefully & affectionately

Susan B. Anthony
