portrait, life-size and very natural, hangs in Investigator Hall, and
her intelligent-looking and expressive countenance, and black glossy
curls, denote intellect and beauty. As an anti-slavery lecturer, a
pioneer in the cause of woman's rights, and an advocate of Liberalism,
she did good service, and is worthy to be classed with such devoted
friends of humanity and freedom as Frances Wright, Harriet Martineau,
Lucretia Mott, and Lydia Maria Child, who will long be pleasantly
remembered for their 'works' sake.'"

LONDON, _January 9, 1877_.

MY DEAR MISS ANTHONY:--Sincerely do I thank you for your kind
letter. Believe me it would give me great pleasure to comply with
your request, to tell you all about myself and my past labors;
but I suffer so much from neuralgia in my head and general
debility, that I could not undertake the task, especially as I

nearly all my life. And so little have I spared myself, or
studied my comfort in summer or winter, rain or shine, day or
night, when I had an opportunity to work for the cause to which I
had devoted myself, that I can hardly wonder at my present state
of health.

Yet in spite of hardships, for it was not as easy to travel at
that time as now, and the expense, as I never made a charge or
took up a collection, I look back to that time, when a stranger
and alone, I went from place to place, in high-ways and by-ways,
did the work and paid my bills with great pleasure and
satisfaction; for the cause gained ground, and in spite of my
heresies I had always good audie
