Scope and Contents
4 pages. Lucretia Mott letter to Martha Coffin Wright. Lucretia Mott discusses the "reconciliation meeting" called by Theodore Tilton which involved representatives from the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association (the two organizations formed when the American Equal Rights Association split in 1869). She writes "several proposals made - none of which acceded to," and she states that Martha Lord and Anna Coffin Temple Brown were inclined to the Boston side (the AWSA).
