Tilton, Theodore, 1835-1907

Letter concerns a speech by Frederick Douglass and compares attendance favorably with that at a lecture by Dr. Cheever.

Letter compliments Theodore Tilton on his lecture and mentions Frederick Douglass's appreciation of it.

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was a key figure in the women's suffrage and abolitionist movements in the United States. Five of the letters concern speeches by Frederick Douglass, Theodore Tilton, Julia Ward Howe, and Mary L. Booth, as well as Anthony's own speaking engagements. Recipients include Theodore Tilton and Mary L. Booth. One letter is about remaking a dress. One letter is undated but is probably written by Anthony around November 1895, since it regards Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 80th birthday celebration at the Metropolitan Opera House, organized by Anthony and Mary Lowe Dickinson.
