Letter, 1872.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38929583

Collection contains a letter from Pollard to Roberts Brothers Publishers. He proposes a speedy publication of his work THE LOST CAUSE to take advantage of the current political excitement in which he felt the African-American was a critical figure. He had already published a book under the same title and also another called THE LOST CAUSE REGAINED. He details for the publisher why he thought the market for the current book was strong, such as feeling that through his connections, he could have the book endorsed by African-American conventions, leagues, lodges, and various societies. He wrote, " ... they will eagerly seize a vindication of themselves in print, and one written by an ex-slaveholder."
