Lucretia Mott letter

Fragment; possibly fragments of multiple letters. The first two pages seem to be addressed to Martha Coffin Wright, and the last four to Martha Mott Lord. Date uncertain; partly written over an 1867 printed circular for the American Equal Rights Association, and also discusses the engagement of Lucretia Mott's niece Sarah Yarnall, who married William H. Abbott in late November 1866. Lucretia Mott writes about her plans to attend a women's rights meeting in Brooklyn. She has received a visit from a Mrs. Ricks, who is working with freedmen in Washington, D.C., for the Freedmen's Bureau (Mott also mentions a visit from Ricks in a letter dated 1866-07-20). She briefly discusses the annual meeting of the Rosine Association, where a speaker discussed attitudes towards domestic servants; Mott adds her own comments about anti-Irish prejudice. She also writes about a discussion she, James Miller McKim, and William Furness had on integrated education. She discusses a debate in the ''Women's Tributary Branch'' about a divisive proposed ''union.'' After discussing her niece Sarah Yarnall's engagement, Mott also gives a detailed account of her day's activities and makes passing references to Dr. Hannah Longshore. She closes by talking about Frances D. Gage, who is raising money to aid African-American freedmen, and briefly discussing her own fundraising for freedmen's education.
