Mott, Lucretia to Love, Alfred & Lydia, Roadside, 1874 11mo 26
Scope and Contents
3 pages. Written from Roadside. Handwritten copy. Alfred Love was a political activist, founder of the Universal Peace Union, and vice-presidential candidate for the Equal Rights Party. Lydia Love may have been his sister-in-law. Lucretia Mott writes a letter to both Alfred and Lydia Love in response to separate letters from each of them that came to her in one envelope. She writes that the report is "entirely satisfactory" and mentions that she took note of the inclusion of "Charles Sumner's bequest...as so few papers have even published it." She invites Alfred Love to the meeting of the "Colored Home" and thanks Lydia Love "for the just tribute 'In Memoriam' of thy precious mother and my well-beloved friend." The last paragraph is on the same sheet as the first page of A00182357.
