CHAPTER IX.
THE FIRST WOMAN'S RIGHTS CONVENTION.
In the spring of 1847 we moved to Seneca Falls.

Here we spent sixteen years of our married life, and here our other children--two sons and two daughters--were born.
Just as we were ready to leave Boston, Mr.and Mrs.Eaton and their two children arrived from Europe, and we decided to go together to Johnstown, Mr.Eaton being obliged to hurry to New York on business, and Mr.Stanton to remain still in Boston a few months.

At the last moment my nurse decided she could not leave her friends and go so far away.
Accordingly my sister and I started, by rail, with five children and seventeen trunks, for Albany, where we rested over night and part of the next day.

We had a very fatiguing journey, looking after so many trunks and children, for my sister's children persisted in standing on the platform at every opportunity, and the younger ones would follow their example.

This kept us constantly on the watch.
