Letter to Thomas Perronet Thompson, Eliot Vale, Blackheath, London, [England], to William Lloyd Garrison, 1863 June 20
Thomas Perronet Thompson writes to William Lloyd Garrison after reading a letter from James M. Mason "in the [London] Times of the 18th [of June 1863]. He discusses Mason's attempts for a negotiated peace to the American Civil War and worries that the "government will fritter away" the advantage of millions of former slaves who are willing to fight. He advises Garrison that as a person who "in some degree hold[s] the strings of public opinion to counteract" the efforts to exclude African-Americans from the war. On the back of the first page, Thompson give his compliments to Garrison's son (likely George Thompson Garrison) "and the officers of his regiment" and "beg[s] them to believe they are taking in stand one of the greatest causes for which brave men anywhere have jeoparded their lives."
