World the letters and kilograms aud gifts

California blankets-even bank checks,
which, as the recipient remarked, were as
welcome to the old ladies of spendthrift
Tendencies as to the young. Tributes in
prose and verse were plentiful enough to
ill volumes; but the one that pleased me
best came in letter from a married daugh-
ter living in England, and this was its pur-
port:
Basingstoke. England, Oct. 20, 1sS5.-Dear-
est Mother: This letter is intended to greet
you on your seventeen birthday-how much
/ wish | could give you my congratulations in
the flesh, Distance is the foe of love. Can
YOU not Slay our enemy and come over to us
at Christmas time? Kiss dear Susan for me
and let her kiss you too for me. On the 18th
of November l shall think of you both, for
you two are not easily separated in my mind,
and there win be tenderness in my thoughts
and thankfulness that you two have lived
In YOUR worries over this last volume of the
history remember that there is at least one
woman who appreciates the fact that her life
has been made easier because OF your COM
bined public work. You ought to be over
flowing with gratitude for each others exist
ence, for neither without the other
could have achieved the work you
have accomplished. Let your hearts praise
the good fortune that brought you together
every day of your lives. Friendship is the
grandest relation in the world and | feel in
friends. ALWAYS think of you, dear mother,
as my companion. You and dear Susan are
not yet to be Saluted, for yod have no end OF
STUFF in you yet, and must work on for
many a year and gain many triumphant
victory. l throw up my cap and cry hurrah !.
for you two grand Old warriors.
The curl is from Nora's little head. She
will be taught to reverence her Queen Mother
and Maid of Honor Susan. Now, farewell,
dear ladies, am wishing you on birthdays
and every day a long life. My wish is very
selfish, for know You benefit me and all
and a huge blessing. Yours, HARRIoT.
Perhaps the next in interest was the mes
sage Of the son-in-law OF Lucretia Mott,
Edward NJ. Davis of Philadelphia:
1t is to-day that you are 20! and in
spirit Just as young as ever You have Il
right TO rejoice in the great work you have
done. I presume st. Susan is with you. l do
not believe ST. Peter will let either of you in
without the other. Yours gratefully.
