J. N. Luce to Frederick Douglass, March 25, 1877
Vineyard Haven. Mass, March 25th 1877.
Fred Douglas Esq
Washington, D.C.
My dear Douglas,
I write to congratulate you on your late appointment as Marshal of the Dist. of Columbia and especially on the victory in your case in the U.S. Senate;—opposed as you were by the strongest legal combination of the District.
To me, your appointment is one of the best evidences that Hayes is not an entire failure.
In these days of his experiments, I wish he would experiment a little more in the same direction.
With best wishes for your personal and official prosperity, as from the beginning
I remain
Yours sincerely
J N. Luce.
