July 25, 1900 –
My Dear Anna E.D.
Though at this late day
I will not fail to say a “thank you”
for the lovely letter of greetings you
sent me to Washington on my 80th
birthday – I am sure I shall be
very happy to have you remain in our home
as long as I live – provided you continue
to be made happy by doing so – It is a very
great pleasure to me to feel that you
enjoy being in our home – and I know
it is the same to you to feel that we love
to have you with us – that we may – on
the part of both – continue thus – to the end – is the
sincere hope of
Your sincere and affectionate friend
Susan B. Anthony
