Title:
Letter from James Miller M'Kim, Phil[adelphi]a, [Pa.], to William Lloyd Garrison, Sept[ember] 25 / [18]51
Description:
James Miller M'Kim writes William Lloyd Garrison informing him that he has received and read Garrison's letter dated the 25th, and that he has shown it to C. M. Burleigh and James Mott, who have signaled to him their accord with Garrison's opinion, and have requested that M'Kim write Garrison to convey this. M'Kim asserts to Garrison that his attendance at the next meeting shall put him at no risk, as West Chester is "a quiet, Quaker town in a quiet, Quaker country", and that their joint expectation is to experience no trouble whatsoever with regards to the meeting. M'Kim writes that the situation may be quite different in the city proper, and proposes that they either give up their proposed Sunday meeting, or withold advertising it until just beforehand so as to avoid attracting unwanted attention from pro-slavery forces.
