Title:
Letter from James Miller M'Kim, New York, [N.Y.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Oct[ober] 16 1865
Description:
James Miller M'Kim offers William Lloyd Garrison his judgement that Garrison would be best served by travelling to Portland and "then two other places", if possible, prior to commencing his tour west. M'Kim assures Garrison that although his tour is a "private" one, he will nonetheless be welcome wherever he shall go as a "friend of the cause" and as Vice-President of the American Freedmen's Aid Commission. M'Kim informs Garrison that he has already written to Mr. Parkman informing him that Garrison would be conducting a considerable lecture tour in New England the following month, and states his expectations that Garrison will see Parkman at an early date. M'Kim reports that he spoke again to Mr. Richards concerning the proposed price to charge for the Nation, and states that Richards has "no wavering & no fear" concerning his proposal, and that he appears one who "knows what he is about & can do what he undertakes".
