Boston, October 26th 1876,
Dear Madam

In answer to your note of the 23d permit me to say it I was indeed very glad to hear that you not only approve of the principles you heard discussed in LynnEditorial Note: Eddy apparently had recently attended an informational meeting in Lynn, Massachusetts, about women's suffrage activities. (To read an account of this meeting, see "Lynn Rally", Woman's Journal, Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. Vol.7, no.44, October 28, 1876: Click Here). the 19th instanceAs Written:inst. but that you are willing to work for their advancement.

If it were possible for me to visit you at your home No. 8. Broad, St. Lynn before the 7th of November I would be most happy to do so, but I fear my arrangements will not permit. You are perhaps not aware that my time is not my own, that meetings for nearly every night are to be held at which I must be in attendance. If any of these should bring me near to Lynn I will call. At present I do not know where I will be next week. This week I will be in Middleton Thursday (tonightAs Written:to night) North Reading Friday and Danvers Saturday night.

If you could write me at Danvers perhaps we could arrange a meeting.

Yours truly
Matilda Hindman
