Written from Roadside. Catharine Fish Stebbins was a Quaker peace and women's rights activist and signer of the Declaration of Sentiments at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention. Lucretia Mott thanks her for her kindness. She writes that she is reading the autobiographies of Mary Somerville and J. Stuart Mill and was pleased by the tributes to the late Senator Charles Sumner. She also thanks Stebbins for "the choice extracts of thy dear mother's collection" (her mother was Sarah Fish) and recommends she read Matthew Arnold's literature and dogma. She writes that she was not at the National Woman's Suffrage Association meeting in Washington and believes she will never go to Washington again.
