4 pages. Lucretia Mott letter to Martha Coffin Wright. Written from Roadside. Lucretia Mott writes to her sister Martha Wright about recent activities of family members and friends. She has learned that one of Martha's housekeepers stole from Martha, and says she does not "believe it is the Irish nature" but rather "exceptional cases." Lucretia notes that they "must not turn from such pioneers as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony" and defends their newspaper, "The Revolution," while alluding to the current divisions within the suffrage movement caused by Stanton and Anthony's alignment with George Francis Train.
