Mrs. Clara B. Colby,
Editor Woman's Tribune,
2024 14th St.,
Washington, D. C.

Mrs. Stanton has sent me your letters of Dec. 30 and Jan.
4, which I have read with great interest. You say you have not
heard from Miss Anthony in a long time. I have been busy, but
accomplishing very little. I think of you very often in your
struggle to carry your paper, and when it comes, it does not seem
to me there is enough of you in it to be worth while for you to
continue, but still, if you find pleasure and profit in carrying
it out, you must go on; but I do hope you will engage no person
or form a partnership with one, except he has cash in hand to
help you to buy new type and a new outfit generally.

With the multitude of papers, and the agitation carried
on through all of them, and especially not a single one that does
not have an article discussing the woman question, there does not
seem to me to be any room for a specifically woman's magazine,
unless it could be published perfectly gratuitously. If you had
money enough to sum up the results of the work and the discussions
in all the papers the world over, and give it in extra form to
the people, it would be doing a good thing; precisely as my getting
out the Volume IV of the History of Woman's Suffrage is doing a
good work for the people and for all coming time, but there will be
nothing in it and money out from beginning to end.
