Item #253671

Letter signed by suffrage leader and activist Alice Stone Blackwell, less than a year before the end of her life. The letter, to Rev. George L. Paine, simply reads: "Dear Friend: Your kind communication has wholly bewildered me. I do not know in the least what I have done to deserve it. Yours gratefully." Blackwell has signed her name in a shaky hand, her last name nearly illegible, her ninety-one years evidencing themselves her in signature.
