ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, National American Woman Suffrage Association letterhead, November 13, 1899. Anthony writes to an unidentified woman. In full: “Enclosed is a fairly good photograph taken at Atlanta, Georgia in February 1895 at time of our National Convention in that city. Tell your friend that The Life & Work of S. B. A. is to be had at Fisher Irwin’s Book Store in London—and that in that work she will find sundry pictures of S. B. A.—when young as well as when old.” In very good condition, with a few creases, some small tears along the intersecting fold lines, scattered foxing affecting appearance, and a circular stain at the upper right corner.
The referenced book, The Life and Works of Susan B. Anthony, is considered one of the official records of the suffrage movement. It, along with the book The History of Woman Suffrage, were both intended to convey an incredible amount of information. Such a written record was essential to the cause, with the suffrage movement essentially a battle fought and won largely with words, via mountains of paper and hours of speeches at meetings and conventions, lobbying, and banners, sashes, pins, handbills, and posters. The American Women Suffrage Association is said to have sent out almost 216,000 leaflets from its Boston headquarters in one year. An interesting bit of history with Anthony essentially identifying her own life story as one synonymous with the suffragist movement.
