Title:
Lucretia Mott to Martha Coffin Wright; Julia Holmes letter to Lucretia Mott
Description:
Lucretia Mott writes about recent events involving family and friends, including her husband James' health problems. She mentions reading an essay on women's culture from the "Catholic World, likely referring to an essay by Félix Dupanloup titled Learned Women and Studious Women." She references some divisions within the women's rights movement and states that she will not "put on paper anything of complaint of our loved co-adjutors, till they had had more time for defense and explanation." However, she does note that "Elizabeth Stanton's sympathy for 'Sambo' is very questionable" and that she will not subscribe to the "Revolution" (a newspaper started by Stanton and Susan B. Anthony), calling it "not satisfactory." She talks of plans to withdraw from office despite Lucy Stone's protests. A portion of this letter is written over a letter from Julia Holmes to Lucretia Mott dated October 8, 1867.
