Summary[edit]

Description
English: Explains that the condition of the freed negroes in the Mississippi Valley is worsening daily and that if it does not improve the freed slaves might want to "return to slavery, to avoid the hardships of freedom;" requests permission and authority to extend their work to the suffering freed people, explaining that it would be an act of philanthropy and of patriotism because it would lessen the difficulties of emancipation and aid in the crushing of the rebellion.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Circular_letter_of_the_Western_Sanitary_Commission,_St._Louis,_to_President_Abraham_Lincoln,_November_6,_1863.jpg
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
