Description

Holograph, signed.Title devised by cataloger.Manuscript composed upon stationary bearing the typeset letterhead of the "Freedmen's Relief Association, No. 424 Walnut Street, Philadelphia."James Miller M'Kim forwards an undisclosed sum of money to William Lloyd Garrison, which he directs Garrison to hand over to George Thompson. M'Kim proclaims his overall satisfaction with the last meeting, and asserts that the "destructives made no headway".
