Written on an offprint of a brief essay by Howe from an 1873 issue of the "Woman's Journal." Howe asks for help to achieve the goals outlined in the essay. Includes a prayer by Mary N. [illegible]: "the root of evil of women's position begins in the worship of a male God. [illegible]. Therefore resolved that to worship a male God alone tends to injust[ice], inequality and irreligion." Also included are Howe's comments that the organization is financially sound and her motion that they "commemorate the day by crowning Mrs. E. C. Stanton[,] the originator of the resolution giving women political equality[,] the Mother of our Nation."
