After explanations, the upshot was that mother returned the same evening to rejoin Katie in New York, taking Margaretta with her. Soon after our return to Troup Street it became necessary, to my great regret, to leave the house, as the property had to be sold for division among heirs; but I found a much larger and finer house on the corner of Troup and Sophia Streets. The fatigues of moving, following so soon upon the Buffalo inquisition, brought on a serious illness, from which I had scarcely recovered when I received such insisting summons, by letters and telegrams, from good friends in Cleveland, Ohio, that I was compelled to undertake the journey, which proved to be the beginning of what was called "the Ohio campaign." So did events arrange themselves, or so did other influences arrange them, to compel us to widen more and more the fulfilment of the "duty" to "go forth" which had been imposed upon us. Among the telegrams from Cleveland, received when I was on a sick bed, was this one: "Mrs. Fish, we want you to come immediately to Cleveland. It is vitally important." To which Mr. Post replied, "Mrs. Fish is not well, and we think it would be dangerous for her to leave." Then came another, saying, "Burr is here, slandering you and all who believe in Spiritualism." Still, my friends insisted on my waiting until I was stronger, when a letter came containing a partial explanation of the "Rev." Burr's villanous conduct toward me. He had slandered me so grossly that my friends would not allow him to go unpunished. They had arrested him in my name, and it was necessary for me to be there in person. I also received the following letters from a valued friend: "CLEVELAND, April 25, 1851. "MRS. FISH: "DEAR LADY--There are _many_ reasons why you should visit our city. One is, we are anxious to witness the Spirit manifestations, and another reason is, that the world-renowned _cheat_, C. Chauncy Burr, will soon be here to expose the Rochester rappings and the mediums. I wonder if he will succeed as well as Flint, Lee, and Coventry did in Buffalo! All this and more, makes it desirable that you should come at once. "Very Respectfully, "M. L. WRIGHT." "CLEVELAND, May 1, 1851. "MRS. FISH: "DEAR FRIEND--Yours of the 28th inst. is at hand. We are glad (as you see by the _Plaindealer_ which we have to-day sent you) that you have concluded to come. You have many friends here who will make your visit pleasant, and not disappoint your expectations. As regards Burr, his tongue is no slander where he is known. We have decided the Dunham House (for many reasons) is the best, as you can have a first floor parlor with three rooms attached, and the house is as respectable as any in the place, though perhaps not quite as large as the Weddell. You will be much better accommodated. The table is first-class. Telegraph the day you will start so that we may know when to expect you, as every one feels anxious to meet you.
