Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.James Miller M'Kim forwards to William Lloyd Garrison a report of the most recent antislavery meeting, which M'Kim labels "one of the most remarkable ever held" in the city, and urges Garrison to include the report in the Liberator. M'Kim announces that he expected to search for Wendell Phillips Garrison and Francis Jackson Garrison that day, but is unsure of their arrival given the "riot in New York" and the announcement of Wendell Phillips Garrison's selection in the military draft. M'Kim reports that he visited Gettysburg the previous week, and toured the battleground "with great interest". M'Kim states that New York City is "as a stronghold of the rebellion as important to Jeff Davis as Vicksburg or Port Hudson", but asserts his faith that the city will not be captured.
