"In this great upheaval of political parties, we should naturally look for something good to come to the hitherto forgotten [say?] of the people…"
Unpublished, long autograph letter signed to South Dakota–Kansas suffragette Elizabeth Wardall on the success of the National-American Woman Suffrage Association and the need to expand.
Writing with regrets at not being able to attend a local convention, Anthony writes about gathering "bright, eloquent young speakers from each of the states" to speak at the upcoming Washington Convention, referencing Alice Pickler as an excellent orator. She turns to discussing the recent success of the 24th New York State Annual Meeting at Syracuse, noting the need to expand the organization's fee-paying membership to help local societies grow across the nation: "We must somehow make every man and woman claiming to be our friends feel that they should join some local society and pay their $1 into its treasury." Wardall was an active suffragette in North Dakota before moving to Kansas and later Washington, and was married to fellow campaigner Alonzo Wardall who served as the first vice-president of the South Dakota Equal Suffrage Association. Anthony remains optimistic in her letter, writing, "we will wait and watch, and work on meanwhile hoping and hoping woman’s turn will come next!!"
With a signed cabinet card, commemorating Anthony's 70th birthday.
