[QUOTE="ScanticAntiques, post: 93149, member: 339"]Hello, I've had this lot of letters for a few months now. And I started going through them and I found this letter. At first I wasn't sure about the "Fred Douglas" mentioned as it could have been common name. But it talks about his lecture on the "Assassination & it's Lessons" The date on the letter is Jan. 1866. Turns out, Frederick Douglas gave a lecture at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) about "Assassination & It's Lessons". This lady describes his hair, and other such things which is interesting, as well as other events going on. I'm having a bit of trouble translating it all, if anyone could help I'd be greatly appreciated. My eyes are no longer what they used to be and I am not the best at reading old script. Warm Regards, Scantic [ATTACH=full]23579[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23581[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23582[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23583[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23584[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23585[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23586[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23587[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23588[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23589[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
