Title:
Letter from James Miller M'Kim, Philadelphia, [Pa.], to William Lloyd Garrison, May 3 / [18]64
Description:
James Miller M'Kim relates to William Lloyd Garrison how Anna E. Dickinson, at the "Boston meeting", had recounted an interview she conducted with President Lincoln. M'Kim relates that Dickinson had informed Robert Purvis of how this encounter had informed William D. Kelley's positions vis-à-vis the Civil War and Reconstruction for "much of the war". M'Kim asserts to Garrison his suspicions on the factuality of this claim, and states that he wrote to Kelley requesting verification. M'Kim reports that George Thompson is faring well, and informs Garrison that Thompson will be speaking the following evening in West Chester.
