Hopkins, 4 pp., responding to his letter of April 18: "Mr. Stewart . . . has made the best Postmaster in my recollection . . . when a negro proves himself worthy morally and capable intellectually of the rewards of citizenship . . . he is entitled to enter the list for competitive places of preferment. . . I must assure you (painful as it must be for you to accept it) that I should not hesitate one moment to accompany two, three or a dozen negroes . . . to call on the President of the United States, the Queen of England, or even if you will the King of the Cannibal Isles . . . I will have this letter published, so that those (like yourself) who are eager for the truth, may read . . ."
