Mrs. Tudor, as she moved about among her
guests, reflected the glory of our American institutions in
giving the world a generation of common-sense women who do not
plume themselves on any adventitous circumstances of wealth or
position, but bow in respect to morality and intelligence
wherever they find it. At the close of the evening Mrs. Stanton
presented Mrs. Tudor with the "History of Woman Suffrage" which
she received with evident pleasure and returned her sincere
thanks.

At the close of the anniversary week in Boston, successful meetings
were held in various cities,[80] beginning at Providence, where Dr.
Wm. F. Channing made the arrangements. These conventions were the
first that the National Association ever held in the New England
States, presenting the national plan of woman's enfranchisement
through a sixteenth amendment to the United States Constitution.
