The letter reads: "By my request our publishers mail to you tonight, the advances sheets of "The History of Woman Suffrage," that you may be able to bring out your notice of it as early as our New York papers -- the book will not be handed them until Friday. Hoping that your reviewer will give these pages a careful reading and a just if not generous report thereof. I am Sir - Respectfully yours Susan B. Anthony."
