My Dear Friend
None can more heartily congratulate thee on thy [three?] [new?] and the year of a life nobly devoted to the welfare of humanity - to unremitting labor for [Term?] [herana?] for the abolition of Slavery, and for Equal Rights of citizenship of irrespect -ive of sex or color. [You?] have lived, [indecipheralbe], to see

the end of Slavery, and I hope that thee will live to see Prohibition enforced in every state in the Union, and sex no longer the condition of citizenship.
God bless thee, and give thee many more years made happy by works of love and duty!
I am [truly?] thy friend
John G Whittier
