Mott, Lucretia to Family, Roadside, 1871 10mo 30
Scope and Contents
4 pages. Lucretia Mott letter to Martha Coffin Wright. Written from Roadside. Lucretia Mott shares news of family and friends and discusses the health issues of Marianna Mott. She mourns the recent death of Clarkson Taylor. She plans to show Elizabeth Cady Stanton's letters to Margaret Bright Lucas, whom she expects to have over for a visit in a few days. She writes of her "resolve to take no further part with the Boston Clique," but says she may go to the great meeting to be held in November, even though a letter in "the Journal" raised her indignation. She also mentions Tilton's praise of Victoria, likely Victoria Claflin Woodhull.
