Wed. 2d . Raining—Reading, writing & walking A.M. ditto P.M. …slipin the evening went to hear Miss Lucy Stone lecture on "Woman's rights." She made a very good argument for the cause she advocated, and her remarks were received with much favor by a large audience composed principally of that sex those who, as she declared, were the oppressors of poor women. I believe, myself, that there are many pursuits now exclusively filled by men for which women are as well, if not better, adapted than the former.
