- Hannah Comstock to Isabella Beecher Hooker, August 2, 1877
- Comstock shares with Hooker her thoughts about Spiritualism. She writes: I like to obtain true knowledge on the subject of Spiritualism & to a certain extent am a believer in its doctrines, but much in the dark. The modern theory of the Spirit-World is not to me attractive. I prefer the Earth with its earthly work which is real and [illegible] upon me. The mistakes and uncertainties of the Spirit-world are at variance with all my preconceived ideas of its perfect knowledge & stability, if God should grant me more perfect spirit knowledge, I might become fascinated with it, but as yet behind the veil which I know to be thin there rises up a stern awful reality which I draw back from facing. God grant that when my time comes I may boldly enter and find rest.", Hannah Comstock to Isabella Beecher Hooker, August 2, 1877, Isabella Beecher Hooker and John Hooker Papers, Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation, River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester.

- Paulina Wright Davis to "My Dear Sister", ca. August 1869
- Davis writes, presumably to Hooker, about the deteriorating relationships among those in the women's movement, and the abolitionist movement. She says: "I am certain that these miserable quarrels among reformers do more harm than any and all other things combined. Look at Mr. Garrison's position in feud with half his old warm friends. Phillips with his hand against everyman not on some great principle but some miserable permeability. The Mrs. Ball at war with all the women in Boston or they with her... we don't deserve justice until we learn mercy so each others faults... I pity Lucy Stone from my heart I believe she is at times insane or I think she could not do what she does but I could not trust any profession of friendship from her and this is more than I ever said to anyone else about her but I went through such a bitter experience years ago and learned then to stand alone. I pity Elizabeth Stanton too not in the same way she is grieved, hurt pierced to the very heart, a whole avalanche of rude [illegible] beside the hard thrusts of criticism.", Paulina Wright Davis to "My Dear Sister", ca. August 1869, Isabella Beecher Hooker and John Hooker Papers, D.292, Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation, River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester.
