412 Susan thought seriously of Clara Colby as a collaborator but concluded she was too involved with the Woman’s Tribune. Susan agreed to share royalties with Mrs. Harper on the biography and any other work on which they might collaborate. On her 75th birthday Susan’s girls had presented her with an annuity of $800 a year. This made it possible for her to give up lecturing and concentrate on her book.
413 Genevieve Hawley left an interesting record of these years in letters to her aunt, many of which are preserved in the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Collection in Rochester, New York.
414 Both the New York Herald and Chicago Inter-Ocean gave the book full-page reviews. A third volume was published in 1908.
