Description

Holograph, signedJames Miller M'Kim explains that Mr. (Edwin Lawrence) Godkin's stay in Boston was too short to enable him to call on Maria Weston Chapman. M'Kim says: "The Nation will start under the most favorable auspices. Now that its establishment is an accomplished fact my connection with it ceases." [Ewin Lawrence Godkin founded The Nation in 1865.] J. Miller M'Kim is secretary of the American Freedmen's Aid Union. The function of the Freedmen's Aid movement is "the enlightenment of the newly liberated blacks (by schools & the like), & of the unliberated & half liberated whites -- north & south -- as to their duties to the blacks." J. Miller M'Kim want the aid of Maria W. Chapman and her sisters and daughters "in making this movement what it ought to be."
