Stanton to SBA Paris, June 9, 1903. 1 My dear Susan: I have duly received your letter of the 18th of May. 2 I should have liked to see the 4th vol., but it has not come to hand. It is not perfectly clear in your letter how you sent it to me. You appear to have sent it in care of the Figaro. I have enquired there & they know nothing about such a volume. And as I cannot imagine why you should send it to me through that paper, or through any paper,for that matter,I write back to you first,before searching any farther, to get more light on the subject. If you cannot find that list of libraries to which I sent the three other volumes of the History, let me know. It is just possible that I have it. Yes, I miss poor old mother very much. Not one day has passed since she died that I have not thought of her at least once. It was too bad that she had to go as she liked this world so much & was still working. I read with so much interest the letters Mrs. Harper printed in a recent number of the Independent. 3 I have been trying to get Hatty to come over here for next winter so that we could take hold of mother’s biography.Nellie & I will be alone here next winter.Why couldn’t you & Mrs.Harper come over too? You two,Hatty & I could all take hold of the work & get out promptly a nice biography. We could all eat here at the house. Right next door is a boarding house where bed rooms could be had if we hadn’t enough in this apartment. You could take a good rest & the rest of us could “pitch in” to the book. We could pass a charming winter. How does this plan strike you, Mrs. H. & Hatty? With kindest regards to Mrs. Harper, I am, as ever, yours affectionately, U...
