{in a second hand: "Repplier, Agnes"} Nov 8, 1896
1208 Spruce St Philadelphia
Dear Mrs. Sewall,
I accept your assurances of a comfortable journey in winter time, and shall be pleased to go to Indianapolis for February twenty-fourth.
In regard to the choice of subjects I
2
think that the New Woman is the more entertaining and the less instruc tive of the two lectures. It may also, though not contentious, provoke a discussion, which the novel cannot. It is not intended for an exclusively female audience. I have such an
2
address, prepared for the Philadelphia Civic Club, but I did not include it in my list.
I am going to call the New Woman paper, when it is re-written for my next volume "The Eternal Feminine" and perhaps that Goethe-title will be a better one for you
3
than a phrase alike odious and ill-used.
I look forward with pleasure to our meeting, and remain
Sincerely yours,
Nov. 8th -- 1896 --
