Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerManuscript composed upon stationary bearing the typeset letterhead of the "Office of the Nation, No. 3 Park Place, New York"James Miller M'Kim informs William Lloyd Garrison that though the Nation included Garrison's name amongst those listed to be in attendance for a celebration of the "termination of the Anti-Slavery agitation", he was "not looking for [Garrison] on the occasion". M'Kim asserts that the antislavery movement has had "two" endings, an "actual one & a dramatic one". M'Kim reports that he is following the Suffrage movement in the papers "with great interest", but "not with full sympathy". M'Kim states that while he has no doubt that the women's suffrage movement would do good, he believes the efforts expounded could be better directed in a manner that would be good "both for woman & for the country". M'Kim affirms his desire for woman suffrage, but offers his uncertainty as to whether the "means to an end" of the vote constitutes a "sure means to the great ends" desired
