Reformer (1793–1880) active in the Underground Railroad and the first president of the American Equal Rights Association. AQS on an off-white 5 x 7.5 sheet, signed at the conclusion, “Lucretia Mott.” In full: “All mankind are one in spirit, And an instinct bears along, ‘Round the earth’s electric circle, The swift flash of right or wrong. J. R. Lowell in his balm days.” Above her signature, Mott has added “For young Frankie from his old friend, Boston 6 mo.23rd.61.” Above her quotation, her husband, James Watt, added: “Do the right & be happy. James Mott. Boston June 23, 1861.” A collector’s notation on the reverse notes that the quotation was written for Francis Garrison, son of William Lloyd Garrison. In fine condition with faint wrinkling and edge toning.
