Elizabeth Cady Stanton letter to Mariana Wright Chapman

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a suffragist, social activist, abolitionist, and a leading figure of the early women's rights movement. Since Miss Anthony will certainly resign in February, Stanton has heard a number of names proposed as President of the National Association: Mrs. Mariana Chapman, Mrs. Chapman Catt, Rev. Anna Shaw, Rev. Antoinette Blackwell, Mrs. Alice Stone Blackwell, Lillie Devereux Blake, Mrs. Taylor Upton. She thinks that Mrs. Chapman Catt would be a good choice for a number of reasons, but does not wish her opinion considered because she has withdrawn from active work.
