Frederick Douglass to Passmore Williamson, May 1, 1856
Rochester, May 1st, 1856
Passmore Williamson Esqr. Please tender my thanks to your friend, the gentleman who honors me by wishing an autograph letter from me. I comply with your request with very great pleasure and all the more since I have again glanced at the authentic history of the prosecution and persecution to which you have been subjected by the aggression and murderous spirit of American Slavery.
I am, My Dear Sir,
Very Truly yours,
Frederick Douglass
