Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Very good condition written. Written in clear, crisp ink on three sides of one sheet of stationery measuring 5" x 8" stamped De La Rue & Co, London. With the original envelope which slightly ragged along the top where it was opened. " Washington, 1st July 60. My dear Miss Loring, I should have much pleasure in seeing Miss Griffith & especially according to a hint from you; but the way did not seem to be open. Perhaps had I been less occupied than I was at the time, I (p. 2) might have been led to take a responsibility from which I shrink more & more every day I mean that of giving letters of introduction to friends in England. Of course I know well Miss Griffith s Merritt, & feel that she deserves, the sympathy & welcome of the good every where. (p.3) You and yr. mother are kind in your appreciation of what I have done for the good cause. (e.g.,The abolition of slavery). If I have life, I hope to do more & better. How I miss now your father s most intelligent, well-poised & genial criticism! Let me thank your mother through you & believe me, dear Miss Loring, Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner." Note: Anna Loring was the daughter of Ellis Gray Loring, a famed Boston abolitionist and lawyer who defended many abolitionists in Boston. and the runaway slave Shadrack who was captured in Boston after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. Along with William Lloyd Garrison and Samuel Edward Sewall (the First Cousin of Louisa May Alcott's mother), Ellis Gray Loring was a founding member of the New England Antislavery society, and his wife (and presumably daughter to whom the Sumner letter is written) were members of the Boston Female Anti Slavery Society. Charles Sumner (1811 1874) was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate from 1851 until his death in 1874. Before and during the American Civil War, he was a leading American advocate for the abolition of slavery. He chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1861 to 1871, until he lost the position following a dispute with President Ulysses S. Grant over the attempted annexation of Santo Domingo. After breaking with Grant, he joined the C, spending his final two years in the Senate alienated from his party. Sumner had a controversial and divisive legacy for many years after his death, but in recent decades, his historical reputation has improved in recognition of his early support for racial equality.Sumner began his political activism as a member of various anti-slavery groups, leading to his election to the U.S. Senate in 1851 as a member of the Free Soil Party; he soon became a founding member of the Republican Party. In the Senate, he devoted his efforts to opposing the "Slave Power,"[1] which in 1856 culminated in a vicious beating, almost to the point of death, by Representative Preston Brooks on the Senate floor.[2] Sumner's severe injuries and extended absence from the Senate made him a symbol of the anti-slavery cause. Though he did not return to the Senate until 1859, Massachusetts reelected him in 1857, leaving his empty desk as a reminder of the incident, which polarized the nation as the Civil War approached.
