  Transcript: "Dear Sister,
  Dr. Bates a few moments ago handed me your letter & I hasten to reply. And this I do the more readily because I feel confident that a satisfactory answer can be given to your questions. You wish to know, what good all this agitating will do?
  I could first ask what good cause or what great moral reform action ever succeeded without agitation. How did our Savior & the apostles endeavor to propagate the gospel? Was it not by traveling extensively over the known world & promulgating the truth? Was it not by rebuking sin everywhere & under all forms - proclaiming the utter wickedness of the human heart - denouncing idolatry as folly & wickedness & holding up the cross as the only hope of a lost world? They spoke the truth also sternly & made no compromise with wrong. In rebuking the Jews for their treatment of the Savior they said, whom 'ye have take by wicked hands have crucified and slain' 'But ye denied the Holy One & the Just & desired a murder to be granted unto you.' And while the church followed their example, almost miraculous success attended their efforts.
  Again when Papacy threw her mantle of gloom over the church - when a deathlike stupor had seized the disciples of the cross, what aroused them, save the trumpet tones of Luther & his associates, spurning with indignation the idea of Papal supremacy & infallibility. They awoke the plebian & the senator - the peasant & the king - how? By agitation. And the happy results we feel every day.
  Alcohol had slain its thousands - the drunkards hell was fast filling up. We were branded abroad as a nation of drunkards. How is it that such a change as we now see has been wrought? Why is it that one state after another is prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor & we stand far in advance of the rest of the world on this subject? It has been accomplished by agitation.
  Nearly one millions of slaves groaned beneath West Indian bondage & the slave traders covered the ocean, sailing under the flags of all civilized nations yet not a voice uttered warning or rebuke; but now how different the sight. The freeman lifts his free arms to heaven & thanks his God & the abolitionists of England the lash is beneath his feet, & the chain rent asunder falls to the ground. And how was this brought to pass. By the agitation of such men as Wilberforce, Clarkson & Sharpe. Years did they agitate, & now God has brought about the result.
  And now, shall we follow the path which Experience points out, or (monstrous anomaly) leave sin to cure itself.
  But permit me to mention of our plans & opinions. First, we believe the slaveholder has a conscience, aye a conscience, slumbering though it may be. This conscience we would address. We would show him that though he may not distinctly be aware of it, yet in reality he is robbing his fellow man - treading under foot precious rights & [curtailing love on many such]. Do you say, that he will not hear & is only enraged; so does the rum seller stop his ears or assail you in his rage when you tell him, he is filling up the drunkards grave, & feeding the fires of the drunkards hell. But in his cooler moments, his conscience will whisper, it is all true. Is it right so to speak to the rum seller & to hope for beneficial results, then is it right thus to address the slaveholder & equally to anticipate the time when Slavery's expiring groan shall scare be heard for the songs of the emancipated.
  Secondly. We believe, if we can convince the slaveholders that free labor is far more profitable to the South than is slave labor, that their self interest will liberate the slaves. To establish this position we have a mass of overwhelming arguments & facts.
  Thirdly. We believe that the South has a sense & a deep sense of honor. What then will she do, when a worlds scorn shall scathe her. When to be a slaveholder shall be as counted a foul spot on a mans character. Lynching & bowie knives will ill contend against the brand of shame. Was not Robinson acquitted of the murder of Helen Jewett & yet he dared not, he could not reside in this city. Why? Because every body believed him quietly & infamy had marked him as her own.
  Fourthly. We believe that the South wishes to live securely. Therefore we point her to a nation of enemies growing up in her midst. We mention her hopeless condition in case of a war & thus wish to show that it is always unsafe to do wrong.
  'Why then do you labor at the North?' Because in several of the so called free states slaves are yet held. Because a burning, withering prejudice is bowing the colored man to the earth, blighting his hopes for time & often for eternity. Because the free colored man is shut out of our schools & our colleges & put in a place of degradation in the courts of God! Because no mechanic will take him for an apprentice & no merchant receives him as a clerk. Because if the colored man was elevated & it was seen that he could hold stations of honor & respectability such a grief of universal condemnation would go forth against slavery as will cause it to vanish from the earth. Because several of the nominally free states permit slaveholders from the South to hold slaves within their bounds for 6 or 9 months, & others lay heavy fines & imprisonment upon those who aid the panting fugitive. Because the North has the majority in Congress & hence the power & obligation to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, in Florida, also to break up the slave trade between the states, which is the main thing that renders slavery profitable in Delaware, Maryland & Virginia, which being removed these states would be forced to emancipate their slaves. Because the Northern church has palliated this crime & failed to rebuke it, while at the same time it has influence sufficient to cause its members at the South to renounce slavery. (See my last letter about communing with slaveholders) Because in a word, slaveholders as a general thing will never listen to us, as long as so many uphold them at the North.
  But says, the objector, 'I have seen a great deal of quarreling & disturbance arise from so much agitation.' Well, what then. This is not denied, but what does it prove? That it is wrong to continue because incidental disturbances arise? Why then did not Paul stop when he was mobbed wherever he went? Why did Peter & John continue so fanatical, when they were scourged for Christs sake? Did not Christ tell us to expect trouble whenever truth grappled with error. Math. X:34,6. Could we expect a system which is so bored by the civil passions of the heart to be given up without a severe & protracted struggle?
  Such is my answer, given as briefly as possible, to your questions. Had I time, I might sustain my position by many more arguments. But I have tried to be brief. If my answer is not satisfactory to Miss Bonny & others, please as soon as possible specify wherein I have failed. I have not undertaken to show how bad slavery is, inasmuch as I took it for granted that she allowed its wickedness. Therefore my attention has been confined to a general statement of our plan & the reasons for it. May God teach us all right that we may do what is well pleasing to him. For it matters little whether we have mans condemnation or not, so long as the smile your Savior is on us. Mother sends her love. I have had a cold for 4 weeks. The Dr. forbids to sing or speak much. The Plans look quite well & has one pedal to another alongside of it. Last Wednesday I went on to Uncle Mag office & on Saturday brough[t] Ludlow, & Aunt Catharine home. Had a very pleasant time there & got most well of my cold, but was put almost entirely [back by singing & talking yesterday (Sabbath).] Write soon."

  ALS, to a younger unidentified colleague (New York). November 21, 1852. 4 p. "My Dear Friend,
  I have been trying very hard to think that I can come to Washington, for I should like to do it. But I am forced to decline it, for a variety of reasons which press upon me. Rev. Bowen will have left us, and no one will take his place at present: so that the entire responsibility of study will come upon me. If I preach at all away from home, it will be for Rev. Bowen's installation at Williamsburg. Then, the journey and preaching would use me up for a week: a thing not to be considered, if any one were here to take care of the [evening] Sunday. The besetting difficulties are too great even for my strong desire to come.
  I rejoice that you are going to be settled at Washington: and I have no doubt that you can say there just what you please. My advice to you would be to go on as you have begun, making your Anti-slavery occasionally, at timely moments, just as strong as you have made it previous to your call. The most that a man can desire is to have the liberty to speak a timely word at some conjuncture which enhances its meaning and prevents it from being spent upon the air. If a man waits for the chances which must inevitably occur in our legislation, and so long as the power of slavery seeks its opportunity, he will have the satisfaction of bearing his testimony at the most useful moment for his own conscience and for the cause of truth. All else, relating to any special topic, is comparatively aimless, lacking the time's enforcement - which justifies it from the charge of dilettantism and superfluity of independence by bringing the evil up to be hit, and marking every hit a palpable one. Particularly in Washington, where people hear of effects being produced by speaking strongly to the point at some critical moment, I should judge it to be the best cause for the preacher of anti-slavery truth to watch the providential chances, and concentrate this special moral energy of his upon the evil when it has a '[name].'
  Let me desire for you every success and spiritual blessing, and though distant from us may you yet feel the sympathy of all who believe as you do, who will be ready to countenance for you, and who will feel strengthened by your efforts."

1/1: Letter, August 5, 1832

• One handwritten letter in ink on both sides of a sheet of paper (measuring 31 cm by 37 cm).
• Originally folded in half to form four pages, each measuring 31 cm by 18 and a half cm. When further folded the fourth page became the address area and is postage stamped in red: "Little Rock Arks, Sep 6." Traces of the red sealing wax remain on this page.
• This is the only original letter referred to in the booklet of transcriptions [see Item 1/4.] for which the location was known by the family as of its donation to the repository in March 2002.

1/3: Thomson Biographical Note, handwritten in pencil on a sheet of St. Louis Southwestern Railway Lines letterhead, undated and unsigned. circa 1940s-1950s

• Discrepancies such as referring to Washington, TX as Old Washington, indicate the information must have been composed at least after the American Civil War, and at least as late as 1885 since Yellow Prairie was renamed Chriesman in that year.
• Furthermore, if the present note was either composed or copied down contemporary with the stationary, then it may have been written sometime during the period 1947-1951, when F. W. Green served as President of the Cotton Belt Line of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Lines, as indicated on the letterhead.

1/4: Photocopies of Booklet by Ralston P. Haun, circa 1980

• The photocopies include the booklet cover featuring an image of the Alamo, a flyleaf printed with "Ana Gardner Thomson," the original owner of the booklet, the Contents page, pages 1-55 of text, transcriptions of five other letters and two memoirs, and a typed letter dated May 1, 1980 (signed Jim Glass, Houston, Tex.) which details the authorship and provenance of the original booklet, and as much as is known in the family about the subsequent disposition of the documents transcribed therein.
• Glass states that only three copies of the booklet were produced around 1936. Of the transcribed letters, one is dated 1833, the rest in the 1840s to 1860s. The memoirs are by James Monroe Hill and Jane Hallowell Hill.

• D - Letter (possibly from Burns' daughter or daughter-in-law) to their children. This letter is written in an unusual printed case probably intended for reading ease by children and is a farewell note in advance of a trip she and her husband were about to take. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 23 July 1890.
• E - Letter from "Grand Papa" to "Burns & Sweet Pau-line." The letter apparently from General Burns to his (grand?) children, written in the printed case that his wife used (possibly she wrote it for him) from a hotel in New York. Letter thanks them for a letter and sends best wishes. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 9 November 1890.

• H - Message (fragment) to Burns. This is the same type of stationery as in item 4/7 but it is unsigned. The message is incomplete. Handwritten, 1 leaf (4 in X 6 in card), 2 sides, 5 September 1887.
• I - Message from [Ellen? Nellie?] M. McClellan to Burns. The message is written on black-bordered cards like items 4/7 and 4/8. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 23 March [1887?].

Reverse side has a note from "Mama" discusses a gift for her son and mentions that perhaps Burns could find a "Sibley Tent" where he was. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 5 May 1891.
• L - Letter from Burns to "Grand-Boy." Script letter from Burns acknowledging receipt of two letters and complimenting the child's improving reading ability. Apparently the child asks about getting a Sibley Tent and Burns says it is an "impossibility" as none has been made for "twenty-five years" other than one for the World's Fair at Philadelphia. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 7 May 1891.
• M - Letter from Burns to "My Darling Mab." This letter, it seems, is written to his daughter (or sister?) and concerns her suitor who is pushing for marriage. Handwritten, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 22 November 1891.

The letter is two-part and the second part refers to some real estate in South Carolina but it is hard to discern whether she is wishing to sell or buy and has sought his advice in the potential transaction. Handwritten, 2 leaves, 3 pages, 30 April 1892.
• R - Letter from Burns to "Dear Grand-Boy." Block-print note about the measles. Perhaps the date is written in error? One might refer to the letter item 4/10 and compare the context and writing in later letters. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 5 May 1892 (1891?).

• A - Letter from B. L. Prince to "Miss Mab. Burns." Love letter. Handwritten, 3 leaves, 3 pages, 19 October 1892.
• B - Letters from F. Montgomery to Mrs. Burns.

• C - Note from Pauline Magruder to "my dearest Brother." A personal note telling of her having a bad cold and that her mother and that she had a long letter from "mother and Mrs. Tracy." Concludes with "I have to go to chapel now." Handwritten, 2 leaves, 3 pages, 18 November 1895.

• H - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear Friend." Letter sounds as though this man is losing patience with the indecision on the part of the young woman. This letter gives full financial disclosure that he can "afford" to marry. Handwritten, 7 leaves, 7 pages, 13 February 1902.
• I - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to "Dear Auntie Mab." Letter from West Point is social and tells of his fun with the other cadets in the snow. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 18 February 1902.

• M - Letter from B. L. Prince to "My dear friend." Suitor still in pursuit of Auntie Mab; ups his financial status by saying in the letter, "I thought that $50,000. And yourself for a wife would be more than any man could wish for." Handwritten, 5 leaves, 5 pages, 18 January 1903.
• N - Letter from L. Burns Magruder to Mabelle Burns. Note from West Point refers to a "precious burden" his mother had been carrying, the secret that Auntie Mab was getting married? He extends his congratulations saying that he "did not think [she] would take the step." Other mentions of "the sword" being lent to the West Point library for display. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages. 29 October 1902.
• O - Letter from "Belle" to Mabelle Burns. Letter from Paris reprimands Mab for not writing and implies there is outside influence. The writer expresses much stress about living in France and worries about Burns' illness. Handwritten, 1 leaf, 2 pages, 24 April 1903.

• U - Letter from Charles Beatty Moore to "Cousin Mab." This letter seems to be from a relative who attended West Point with young Burns. The letter references several other family members. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, 11 May 1902.
• V - Letter from Pauline to "Auntie Mab." An undated letter that must have been written shortly after she arrived in Paris because she mentions that she is not yet proficient enough in French to write a letter. Handwritten, 2 sheets, 4 leaves, 8 pages, circa 1901.
• W - Letter from "Papa" to "Auntie Mab." A small, undated letter (only "Dec 5th") appears to be from the General and was written on a trip to New York. The letter is ambiguous but states that Burns has just come in on his tricycle so it must have been written in the early 1890s. Handwritten, 1 sheet, 2 leaves, 4 pages, circa 1890.
