I can not venture to promise to be present at the dinner to be
given to Miss Anthony, but I should be sorry to lose an opportunity
to express my admiration of her life and character. In themselves
they are ample refutation of the charges made by the unthinking
that participation in public affairs would make women unwomanly. If
any system of subjection has enabled any woman to preserve more
thoroughly the respect and affectionate regard of all her friends
than has Miss Anthony amid the struggles of an active and
strenuous life I have yet to learn of it. With sincere hope that
she may have many years still left to her, I am yours sincerely,

THOMAS B. REED.

I think I express the feeling of most if not all the workers in our
cause when I say that the women of America owe more to Susan B.
Anthony than to any other woman living. While Mrs. Stanton has been

toward victory and impressed them upon the hearts of the people.
Yours truly,

OLYMPIA BROWN.

May you live many years longer to enjoy the results of your
herculean work, and score as many triumphs in the future as you
have in the past. On the morning of the 15th some flowers will be
sent you with my love. I wish they were as imperishable as your
name and fame. Affectionately,

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.

How good to have lived through the laugh of the world into its
smiles of welcome and honor--how much better to have reached these
with a heart gentle and humble like hers--how best of all to care,
as she must, scarce a rush for the personal honor and accept it
only as an honor to the cause for which she has given so many of
the seventy years. Truly yours,

W. C. AND MARY LEWIS GANNETT.

With the hope that you may live to one hundred or until, like
