James Stratton letter to Isaac Goodnow
Manuscripts
Letter from San Francisco school principal James Stratton to the abolitionist and Kansas educator Isaac Goodnow, written during Fourth of July festivities in 1865. Stratton writes of the excitement of the holiday, and that the "colored people were out in force and were loudly cheered, and seemed to feel a new era had dawned upon their long oppressed race." Stratton also notes the strong support for Abraham Lincoln (whom he calls "Uncle Abe"), although the "Irish Copper-heads and poor miserable foreigners" refused to celebrate. He also writes of the inadequacies of the San Francisco post office, the illness of his wife, and his fondness for Washington School and positive outlooks for education in San Francisco. Includes envelope.
