ABOUT “JOSIAH AyLEN'S WIFE"

So i could answer the question, why
did i take the name of "Josiah Aliens

that it was an original name that no:

of woman's suflraxe arguments as the

ably thought that it would soften
somewhat the edge of unwelcome ar‘

claim to he the wife of Josiah Allen. .
and so stand in the shadow of a man‘s
personality.
at any rate i can remember dis-
tinctly that the two lsadinaohsrscters ,
