Dear Amy
                  At the earnest
suggestion of Mr. Gar-
rison, Aaron M. Powell
will attend the Waterloo
Progressive meeting
meeting – Mr. Garrison
is highly delighted with
the Pensylvania [sic] meeting
and hopes the Waterloo
will pass equally strong
Testimonies on the subject
of Peace & Anti Slavery [sic]

(Page 2)

and it is ^to^ bring
those questions before
the meeting that Mr. G.
urges the attendance of
Mr. Powell-
      I hope to meet you
there, and many more
of our good friends.
       We have had, most
excellent meetings at
New York & Boston, but
have no time to write –
     I leave for Seneca
Falls in a few moments
hope to get Mrs. Stanton
waked up to attend &

(Page 3)

give her strong ^word^ for
Woman- I shall go
to Rochester, immediately
after the meeting-
Elias & Rhoda and
Asa & Huldah I hope
to meet there –
      The Bell Rings &
I must go- Do let the
light of countenance
Shine upon that Meeting
       Truly Yours
            Susan B. Anthony
