"When she was able to attend our conventions we always had an opening address. I called her a word artist, while I was the worker. If I wanted anything done, any appeals to Congress or Legislatures written, I put my bonnet on and went to see Mrs. Stanton. It spoiled me for writing myself, for I always had her to lean on. It was only last week that she wrote Mrs Ida H. Harper, asking her to edit her speeches as soon as Mrs. Harper had finished the last volume of the 'History of Woman Suffrage,' on which we are now working. There are more than 200 of these speeches, which she has had labeled and sorted and placed in an chest of drawers. 'She was interested in the last volume of intensely the 'History of Woman Suffrage,' soon to be given to the public, and every week we received letters containing suggestions, and asking that this and that be included in it.; She was looking forward with so much pleasure to the completion of the book, and her most ardent wish was that she might live to see it. The last letter received from her was one of her strongest and brightest. She said she intended to have all her work out ot the way so that she could have the book read to her from beginning to end. We are so disappointed to think she can never see it that we cannot be reconciled. It contains scores of speeches.

Miss Anthony said: "I cannot express myself at all as I feel. I am too crushed to say much, but if she hai outlived me she would have found fine words with which to express our friendship. I cannot say it in words." "What periods of your lives gave you the greatest pleasure ?" was asked. "When we were digging together.
