Title:
Letter from L.M. Cutcheon, Elbridge, Onondaga Co[unty], N[ew] Y[ork], to Samuel May, [18]52 Sept[ember] 18th
Description:
L.M. Cutcheon writes to Samuel May telling him that he has traveled "pretty extensively" around the country and "tried to be a careful observer of its conditions & wants especially in the Anti Slavery branch of progress." He states that he has found, "Western N[ew] Y[ork] is a great field ripe for the reapers" or antislavery lecturers. Cutcheon says that he recently attended the National Woman's Rights Convention held in Syracuse and Lucy Stone's speech "has placed her largely before the public eye," pointing to many favorable reviews of her speech. He then recommends that May send Stone to lecture in western New York, claiming, "I think she could now call out audiences to hear Anti Slavery truth that no others except [William Lloyd] Garrison & [Wendell] Phillips could." He offers to aid May "by suggestions, or time or money" and further encourages him to send Stone on a lecture tour in New York. In the postscript, Cutcheon tells May that if Stone comes and he can "be of any aid," May can write to him at the post office in Rochester, his "address for the Autumn."
