Title:
Letter from James Miller M'Kim, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Dec[ember] 28 1866
Description:
James Miller M'Kim informs William Lloyd Garrison that E. L. Peirce has been requested to take the place of Judge Russell as a speaker for the Chicago meeting of the American Freemen's Union Commission. M'Kim informs Garrison that should Peirce decline, they will be "compelled" to request that Garrison replace Russell. M'Kim admits that while it will require "some cheek to ask a man who is an invalid to accompany another who is also an invalid" on a lengthy railroad journey in the middle of winter, he does not see any other viable options. M'Kim praises Peirce's knowledge and understanding on the subject, having "been himself a part of it".
