Susan B. Anthony to Isabella Beecher Hooker, January 22, 1870
Anthony, Susan B. (Susan Brownell), 1820-1906 (Author)Hooker, Isabella Beecher, 1822-1907 (Addressee)
Anthony writes that “Turnbull promises to report on main question in writing – if he does and a senatorial discussion comes of it, I shall rejoice.” She then goes on to speak of the National Women's Suffrage Association's (NWSA) work with Congress, specifically with Senator Sumner and Logan, and of Senator Logan (who opposed the NWSA bill), Anthony hoped that Hooker “could spike his gun.” Anthony writes about getting ready to go on another speaking tour, but did not have any new clothes. She tells Hooker to send letters to her Rochester address while she is out speaking and that they would be forwarded. Anthony continues on about the platform of the Working Men’s Convention and how she does not think that they “have the elements to make a formidable movement.” Anthony asks to be kept up to date on the progress in Washington and hopes to get her Senate Committee speech written.
