  • -  Enclosed with the Report are two clippings, inscribed in pen in the margin "Given to A. F. M. by Rhoda Palmer": a 1894 clipping relates a story by Col. Thomas Wigglesworth Higginson in which he says the bravest thing done during the Civil War was Dr. Thomas T. Minor offering a toast to "Our Mothers" with a glass of water during a drinking party in Beaufort, S. C.; a notice by Susan B. Anthony, Aug. 19, 1852, of an October meeting of the Women's New York State Temperance Society in Seneca Falls, New York
