Manuscript annotated on recto, with "69" in pencil beneath letterhead recipient
James Porter writes William Lloyd Garrison expressing his sincere appreciation for Garrison's "most timely letter" to Charles Sumner, and states that Garrison, "of all men in the country", is particularly well-equipped to respond to Sumner and Horace Greeley on the matter at hand. Porter declares that while slavery is now abolished, there remain "[p]ortions of the South" which continue to fight to "recover their losses", and opines that these forces, knowing that Grant will not assist them, pull for Greeley's election as a means to reverse the gains of Reconstruction
