She discusses Lucy Stone's decision to print H. Tracy Cutler's article complaining about Stanton in the Woman's Journal. She mentions the Laura Fair case, Theodore Tilton, and Isabella Beecher Hooker, her own advancing age, and others matters. She also briefly discusses the "Alabama case" between the U.S. and the U.K. and recent smallpox vaccinations at Swarthmore College. Pages 7-14 may be out of order. Partially written over a letter from H. H. Laing to Lucretia Mott, dated December 23, 1871, and also partially written over a letter from C. L. Farrington to Lucretia Mott, dated December 8, 1871.
