In reading over the material concerning woman's work in the War, I felt how little our labors are appreciated.

Who can sum up all the ills the women of a nation suffer from war?
They have all of the misery and none of the glory; nothing to mitigate their weary waiting and watching for the loved ones who will return no more.
In the spring of 1881, to vary the monotony of the work on the history, we decided to hold a series of conventions through the New England States.

We began during the Anniversary week in Boston, and had several crowded, enthusiastic meetings in Tremont Temple.

In addition to our suffrage meetings, I spoke before the Free Religious, Moral Education, and Heredity associations.

All our speakers stayed at the Parker House, and we had a very pleasant time visiting together in our leisure hours.
We were received by Governor Long, at the State House.
