I had a confused and weary time moving up from Newport, and my Southern journey followed hard upon. Mrs. Cheney, Eva Channing, Mrs. Bethune, and I started on October 31. Flossy joined us in New York. We reached Atlanta on Friday. Our meetings were held in the Woman's Building of the Atlanta Exposition, and were very pleasant, the Exposition being also well worth visiting. I spoke in the Unitarian Church on the Sunday following, and on November 4 we started for New Orleans which we reached the next morning. We were all to be entertained, and Mrs. King, our old friend, had written me a cordial invitation to stay with her.

Higher than this, however, must be the agreement of the two, prefigured perhaps in such sentences as Mercy and truth have kissed each other. This thought also came to me: Oh, God, no kingdom is worth praying for but thine. To Laura Oak Glen, August 2, 1895. Dearest Pidge, also Midge, ... I will condescend to inform you that I am well, that Flossy is very faithful in taking care of me, and that we are reading Bulwer's Pelham, the stupidest of novels.

(From my suffrage address at State House in 1894). In December, 1895, appeared her first volume since Margaret Fuller, a collection of essays, published under the title of the opening one, Is Polite Society Polite? In the preface she says:-- I remember, that quite late in the fifties, I mentioned to Theodore Parker the desire which I began to feel to give living expression to my thoughts, and to lend to my written words the interpretation of my voice. Parker, who had taken a friendly interest in the publication of my first volumes, Passion Flowers and Words for the hour, gave his approval also
