Item # 694574
August 11, 1891
THE DAILY JOURNAL, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, Aug. 11, 1891 The top of page 3 has a print of: "Frederick Douglass" and a report headed: "Ministerial Changes" "Fred Douglass Resigns--Shannon Minister to Costa Rica--Grubb Coming Home".
The report includes: "Hon. Frederick Douglass, U.S. minister to Haiti, has tendered his resignation to the department of state...Mr. Douglass...does not give his reasons for resigning...It had been rumored several times of late that Mr. Douglass had intended to resign, so that this action on his part was not entirely unexpected...".
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the irregular spine, chipping and minor tears at margins, fragile and should be handled carefully.
