ANTHONY, SUSAN B.  (1820-1906).  American woman-suffrage advocate.  Good Autograph Letter Signed, “Susan B. Anthony”, on National-American Woman Suffrage Association stationery, with the names of the various Suffrage leaders imprinted on it, along with their titles/positions.  2 1/2 full pages, large octavo.  Chicago, Illinois, March 25th, 1876.  Laid down on a larger leaf, else very fine condition.   To “Dear Sir”.  Anthony writes:

“I would like to give my lecture – “Woman Wants Bread; Not The Ballot” – in your place, during the first week of May – or the very last of April – my terms may be $50 – or if you prefer they may be 2/3 of the gross receipts, with an admission fee of 50 cents at the door – If you or any reliable party, wish the lecture – please name the day you prefer & I will accommodate you if possible – Addresses to care of Mr. Ira Howe, Ottawa, Ill. And oblige. Yours respectfully, Susan B. Anthony”. 

A rather uncommon letter with the mention of one of her lectures, boldly penned on a very displayable letterhead!   A choice letter for the collector in the areas of woman’s right’s and universal suffrage.
