LONDON, July 13.

MY DEAR SISTER: My last letter was mailed the 3d. That afternoon I
was at Rebecca Moore's reception. We dined at Miss Mueller's and
afterwards went to Horn's assembly rooms to a suffrage meeting. Her
sister Eva, wife of Walter McLaren, M.P., was one of the
speakers.... At 9 P. M., we went to a Fourth of July reception at
Mrs. Mellen's, given in honor of Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony, and
a brilliant affair it was. About 150 were there; she had elegant

Mildred Conway recited; Frank Lincoln impersonated; Nathaniel
Mellen sang a negro jubilee melody; Maude Powell played the violin.
She is not fifteen yet and is a charming player. The company did
not disperse until after one.

July 5, drove to Mrs. Mellen's to a 10 o'clock breakfast, and
worked on Rachel's report of my Prince's Hall speech--you'll find

Thomasson gave a splendid dinner-party, and afterwards took us all
in carriages to the St. James' Hall suffrage demonstration, where
there was a fine audience of about 2,000.... Next morning I went to
a meeting of the suffrage friends from various towns who had come
up for the demonstration. At 8 P. M. Mrs. McLaren took me to the
House of Commons, to witness Mr. Hugh Mason present the Women's
Suffrage Bill; so I heard all the speeches pro and con, up to 1:30
A. M., and how tired I was! Mr. Jacob Bright's was the strongest
and most earnest.

The morning of July 7, at the suffrage rooms, I heard strong
