Mrs. Leland Stanford, Palo Alto, Cal.

My dear Mrs. Stanford :-

I find this envelope addressed, with the clipping from my brother's paper, the "Leavenworth (Kansas) Daily Times," containing an interview, which was really a sort of diary of my trip in California, in which I spoke of you among the various other fortunate incidents of my journey. I fully intended to have called on you at your Palo Alto home, but every hour was filled with me, and I knew that you were over-whelmed with the law-suit, and so came off without making the call. Miss Shaw was equally desirous to call on you, but she has now returned to California for a month or six weeks, and I hope she will be permitted to see, and learn to know and love you as I have [insert] & do; [/insert] and, my dear, I hope now the time has come when you will give your name to dear Mrs. Cooper as one of the Vice-Presidents of her campaign committee, because that great movement in your state needs the weight and influence that your name will give to it. I am sure if the Senator were alive he would give his name to help along the cause, and perhaps you have done so already. And then, I wanted to ask you to make yourself a patron of the National Council of Women. I inclose you a copy of the program of the Council, which is to be held at the Atlanta Exposition next week, on next to the last page of which you will find a list of the men and women who have already become patrons. All that is required is the payment of $100, which makes the person a member for life with the right to attend all its public meetings for business or entertainment; and as the suffrage cause of California needs your name and influence to help it along, so does this National Council need it also.

I have read every item in the papers about that government suit, and I do hope it will be eventually decided in your favor, as it seems to me justice demands. I am glad that you were able to go forward with the University in spite of all the hindrances thrown in your way, and I rejoice every day at your strength and courage in carrying forward the great work left you by your good husband.

With best wishes, ever and always, I am

Yours affectionately

Susan B. Anthony

Post Script to Oct 4 1895 letter (unable to be photocopied)

P.S. In dictating to my secretary -- which I have not yet learned how to do -- I forgot to speak of the celebration of Mrs. Stanton's 80th birthday -- in the Metropolitan Opera House New York on Nov. 12th -- where she will be the central figure on the stage -- with groups around her of pioneer Doctors, Ministers, Newspaper women -- while young women will make the speeches telling them what their early work has resulted in for the present generation -- I wish you as the pioneer woman to own & manage a great university could be with us that Nov. 12 evening to show what wonderful power has come to you to help the young people --

The National Council of Women has the entire management of the celebration -- as you will see it is composed of twenty great national bodies -- so it is not suffrage women alone who extend the honor to Mrs. Stanton -- but women of all professions, aims and objects together --

pardon this scribble--

S.B.A.
