Half a Century

CHAPTER XIV
2/7

Reece C.Fleeson published an anti-slavery weekly in Pittsburg, _The Spirit of Liberty_, and for this I wrote abolition articles and essays on woman's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

My productions were praised, and my husband was provoked that I did not use my own name.

If I were not ashamed of my articles, why not sign them?
He had not given up the idea that I should preach.

Indeed, he held me accountable for most of the evils in the world, on the ground that I could overthrow them if I would.
Elizabeth was married in June, and went to Ohio.

In the autumn, my husband's mother and the boys came to live with us, to which I made no objection, for "honor thy father and mother" was spoken as much to him as to me.
