Well – dear Anna –
Another week has gone by –
we both went to Silver Lake on Friday – I thought
of you – but it proved a rainy day – so there wasn’t so
much fun in it – nor so very many people –
Mary came home with Miss Shaw & Harriet May
Mills – and I stopped at Wyoming and staid
until yesterday – with Mrs. Coonly-Ward – who has
twenty visitors and six girls to do the work –
I went into her laundry yesterday A.M. – it was a
sight to see the washing machine – two wringers – &c
– then beside the canning – she has two distinct & separate
kitchens – with large ranges – and pantries to match –
and when they – Mrs. Coonly and the visitors – boys
& girls – washed the dishes in the dining room – it
look like a whole china store – there were so many
dishes – I remained there three days – We expected
Cousin Jessie Anthony of Los Angeles – to arrive this
A.M. but she hasn’t come yet – she may be stopping at the

exposition for the day – tomorrow – we go to dinner
with Anna O. – at 6:30 – her brother Bacon is visiting
her – – Margaret’s brother came yesterday – She at first
thought she must go altogether to her Aunts – to visit with her
brother – but her brother told her to stick to her work –
so she will stay and do the work – and visit in the
afternoon & evening – she is very quiet – but gets good
meals – – Well – I hope you are enjoying yourself
and Mrs Harper – by the way – I hear nothing
from Winnifred – I shall be happy to see her –
– Isn’t she able to go to Grand Rapids this
week? With love to Mrs Harper & M. of hers –
I am as Ever
Yours Affectionately
Susan B. Anthony
