Lucretia Mott letter to Martha Coffin Wright
Possibly a fragment. Lucretia Mott discusses her "economy" in writing her letters over other's letters, stating that she is "giving others the benefit of them, rather than make lamplighters of them." She sent half a dozen "photos and autos" to the California Women's Rights Society. She references the recent split within the suffrage movement, writing that "indeed there seems to be rather a disposition to quit fighting and try to unite again" as long as Victoria Woodhull and Cosmo-Politico don't "make another bone of contention." In reference to Victoria Woodhull, she writes that James Miller McKim thought the idea of her running for President "was enough to stamp her with George Francis Train."
