Description
English:

Manuscript letter

Archives Number: 1002/9.3-159#036

[pencil annotation:] Bought by H.W.L. Dana October, 1942 for 50 cents from Heise.
[pencil annotation:] 307
Senate Chamber
9th March ‘74
My dear Govr, [pencil: Washburn]
I am against capital punishment, but if any man ever deserved a halter it is Baez, who proposes to visit Boston.
I know his history intimately. He is a usurper, whose hands have been red with innocent blood, & who [p. 2] had the terrible audacity of conceiving the idea of keeping an American citizen in a dungeon to prevent his return to New York where it was feared he would write against the Treaty, & this crime he actually perpetuated.
If he comes to Boston he ought to be driven out by an indignant public sentiment,
Sincerely yours,
Charles Sumner
