Note reads in full: ''The sacred animosity between Freedom & Slavery can end only with the triumph of Freedom / Charles Sumner / Senate Chamber / 29th Dec. [18]60''. Sumner became a national abolitionist leader in Congress four years prior, following another of his passionate anti-slavery speeches, the ''Crime Against Kansas'' speech. 1pp. on card-style stationery measures 5'' x 8''. A bit of a stamp remains above the text and reads ''Three''. Discoloration, with separation to folds at edges and a greater degree of separation to folds of integral blank page. Very good condition.
