Item Information

Title:
Letter from Lucy Stone, Kennebunkport, Me., to William Lloyd Garrison, Sep[tember] 22 - [18]69
Description:
Lucy Stone thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his expressed appreciation of her work, and expresses the aim of her letter to be to convince Garrison to see, as she does, the "need of another organisation". Stone asserts that Garrison's refusal to work with "the parties that lead the present national association" can be an obstacle, keeping away "a great many others". Asserting that the cause is "entitled to the help of the best people, in the most effective way", Stone proposes the existance of a "national association and organ" to consolidate broad support for the women's rights cause.
