Letter from Susan to Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,
I'm sorry that I haven't written to you in such a long time it's just that I have been very busy with my trial. I was so happy that our group of extrodinary women, The National Womans Suffrage Association, could encourage hundreds of women to go vote at the 1872 presidential elections. It made me even more content to see that 16 women in Rochester, including myself, had our ballots casted. Even though we were all arrested two weeks later, I think we gained an amazing experience that will go down in history from it.
As you know I refused to pay the fine becuase I wanted a trial and I wanted to go to Supreme Court. I ended up going to trial in New York this year, june of 1873. The judge forbade me from speaking to the jury. The sexist fools declared me guilty, but I still refused to pay the fine. And as for Supreme court, well that dream is gone.
With Love,
Susan B. Anthony
