The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 49

Miss Fenwick Miller was very indignant over this extract—declared it to be an anonymous letter to the Denver (Co.) News—and called upon me "publicly to remove the passage altogether" or "to state the place and circumstances in which it appeared." The passage must stand in its original words; but the authority was always forthcoming. The letter from which the extract is taken appeared in the Index of Boston : the date is given in note, p. 59. It is there quoted as taken from the "Rocky Mountain News," not from the "Golden Age" as was entered in my first uncorrected proof, a copy of which I lent to Miss Miller. Of course I always intended to look up and verify the quotation previous to final publication. I do not know that the authority of one of these papers is greater than the other: the authority of the passage in my eyes was that Mr. Abbot, Editor of the Index, a gentleman whom I know and trust, and who is favourable to Woman Suffrage, had copied the letter into his journal.
