At the end of this conversation, the woman, weeping, put her arms around Miss Anthony and said: "You have taught me to understand my husband better and love and respect him more than I had learned to do in all my long years of living with him." In March Garrison wrote, thanking her and her family for their generous hospitality, concluding, "Nowhere do I visit with more real satisfaction." He told her that he had had to give up his lecture engagements on account of the heavy snows, but she had gone straight through with hers.

She now closed her series of meetings and went home to arrange for Theodore Parker's lecture.

Antoinette Brown Blackwell wrote her: "I hear a certain bachelor making a number of inquiries about Susan B.Anthony.This means that we shall look for another wedding in our sisternity before the year ends.

Get a good husband, that's all, dear." On Miss Anthony's return from the May anti-slavery meeting in New York, she received a reminder from the president of the State Teachers' Association that she would be expected to read her paper on "Co-Education" before that body in August.

This recollection had been keeping her awake nights for some time.
