He made a short speech, in favor of woman suffrage, in reply to Mrs.Hooker.We also called on the Mayor, at the City Hall, and went through Jordan & Marsh's great mercantile establishment, where the clerks are chiefly young girls, who are well fed and housed, and have pleasant rooms, with a good library, where they sit and read in the evening.

We went through the Sherborn Reformatory Prison for Women, managed entirely by women.

We found it clean and comfortable, more like a pleasant home than a place of punishment.
Mrs.Robinson, Miss Anthony, and I were invited to dine with the Bird Club.

No woman, other than I, had ever had that honor before.

I dined with them in 1870, escorted by "Warrington" of the Springfield _Republican_ and Edwin Morton.
