Miss Anthony has been a good friend to the Tribune in the past She was so situated that she could be. I have faith in the Tribune: I think friends of whom you have no thought will and it on the future.

Thus I intend to say nothing more in reply to the items of your letter but on looking at it I must say one word lest I be misunderstood. It is no "rumor from Americans sources" that Miss Anthony will be President of the Union & it seems strange that I do not - if I do not - tell you my source of information when I wrote - Mrs Stanton was my

informant, immediately after visit of Susan to her. Let that go, who cares? only I do not wish in any way to seem false.

I have a favor to ask. A circular or paper is to be issued - one or two, soon for gratuitous distribution, with reference to the forth-coming convention and its aims. There will be short articles from various [past ?]- Mrs Stanton Helen Gardner Rev Olympia [&c.,&c. ?] and I need the subscription list of the Tribune as it is eight years since The National Citizen ceased to be, many are dead and I wish the names of persons now living and interested to whom to send the circular I do not ask you to do this

Now, my friend you will see that I hold a delicate and responsible position - that I have confided in you - not alone with regard to myself, but Mrs Stanton, and I request you to say nothing of what I have written until I give you leave.

DICTATED TO STENOGRAPHER.

United States Senate,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 13th 1890.

Mrs. Clara B. Colby,

1406 G St. N.W.

Washington, D. C.

Dear Madam:-

Your favor of the 12th instant is received. I will be pleased at any time to look at the bust of General Logan made by Mrs. Adelaide Johnson of this city. It is not however at all likely that anything will be done at this session of Congres [Congress] in the way of purchasing of additional works of art. In any event as I am not on the Committee on the Library who has charge of matters of this sort, I can do but little in the matter of procuring the purchase of meritorious works by Congress.

I know nothing of the dispute between Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Johnson and it is not a matter in which I can interfere. If Mrs. Johnson's work is a good one, it can stand good on its own merits without reference to the endorsements or condemnation of any one except the members of the Library Committee.

Truly Yours,

Charles F. Manderson
