Correspondence between Susan B. Anthony and Rachel Foster Avery

Anthony-Avery Papers

Letter from Susan B. Anthony to Rachel Foster Avery, Washington, D.C., January 12, 1889.

Anthony describes her arrival in Washington D.C. and the debate, presumably surrounding the merging of the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association, lamenting that they:

"Have had a whole year to think it over and I do not want to be hung by the gills another year hence I write her that I shall do all in my power to secure final action so far as the National is concerned. We know what we would [sic] do just as well now as we shall after facing another twelve months and so I write Mary she must get here Saturday the 19th."
