Description

Seeking a free ride “to the Great West” for a young man who aided her suffragist magazine

ALS, two pages, 5.5 x 8, The Revolution [periodical] letterhead, July 23, 1869. Anthony writes to Charles. F. Hatch. In full: “If you will extend the bearer—Thomas Phelan—the courtesies of your road—you will greatly aid a young man who has, for the past year & a half, faithfully served The Revolution—and who now seeks a home at the west. The Erie R. R. Co. have passed him over their road—& I hope the Southern Michigan & Lakeshore will do the same—& thus help one more young man out of this crowded city to the great West….” Light intersecting folds, mild wrinkling & soiling, and small edge tears (one each touching first and last name; tape reinforced from reverse), otherwise fine, bright condition. R&R COA.
