The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony (Volume 1 of 2)

CHAPTER VII
30/32

She met here for the first time Anna and Adeline Thomson, Sarah Pugh and Mary Grew, and was the guest of James and Lucretia Mott, who entertained twenty-four visitors in their hospitable house during all the convention.

This is the quaint invitation sent her by Mrs.Mott: "It will give us pleasure to have thy company at 338 Arch street, where we hope thou wilt make thy home.

We shall of course be crowded, but we expect thee and shall prepare accordingly.

We think such as thyself, devoted to good causes, should not have to seek a home." Wm.

Lloyd Garrison sat at her right hand at table and Miss Anthony at her left.
At the conclusion of each meal she had brought in to her a little cedar tub filled with hot water and washed the silver, glass and fine china, Miss Anthony drying them with the whitest of towels, while the brilliant conversation at the table went on uninterrupted.
At the close of 1854, Miss Anthony decided to make a thorough canvass of every county in New York in the interest of the petitions to the Legislature, a thing no woman ever had dreamed of doing.
