Dear Mrs Hollared

I mean to reply to you about voting for school committee through the Woman's Journal. Ever so many other women are asking how women in country towns are t[o] get registered & we will answer all at once-but I am sure of this. that a woman who pays a property tax need not pay a poll tax also. I am quite sure that a [? ] tax paying woman whose name was on the register last year can not have her vote thrown out--oh the other points we have to hunt up the law.

There have been changes in the law, and there is a great deal of naughtiness among

[aversus---?] about women voting.

We will see that you have correct information just as soon as we can make ourselves sure.

We are glad of the spirit of your little league. I wish it would make a point of getting sub= =scribers for the Women's Journal--

Covering every week. with reports of the work it creates and /keeps alive and interest in the cause & [underlined]that is what is needed to Ensure it success-A distribution of leaflets too is a means of grace--

We will come sometime to help at your league meeting. Meantime I am very truly yours

Lucy Stone

[The?] notice of your league will be in the next journal.

Dear Mrs. Hollared

In reply to you. let me say, the 16th. will suit us. Mrs. Austin was in the A.M. and we conferred about it.

I told her I thought you would not need both Mrs. B. and me. Not if one would do. it was well to save the other till another time. but if you think it best; we will both come--But if one will do, I will come on the 16th.

Yours truly

Lucy Stone

This was one of the last appointments filled by the writer shortly before her death. J.P.H.

Dear Friend

As you will see by the enclosed announcement: the approaching annual meeting of our State Association is to be made the occasion for celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Worcester Woman's Rights Convention of 1850. We expect a number of well-known + prominent advocates of our cause from other States, whose expenses must be paid, and shall hold our evening sessions in the Tremont Temple, consequently our expenses will necessarily be heavier than usual, and it is of the utmost importance,

1st, that our friends who are non members should send in their membership fees promptly or, if they expect to attend the meetings, and it will be more convenient, pay there.
