DEAR BR. STILL:--Henry Lemmon wishes me to write to you in reply
to your kind letter, conveying the intelligence of the death of
your fugitive guest, Geo. Weems. He was deeply affected at the
intelligence, for he was most devotedly attached to him and had
been for many years. Mr. Lemmon now expects his sister to come
on, and wishes you to aid her in any way in your power--as he
knows you will.
He wishes you to send the coat and cap of Weems by his sister
when she comes. And when you write out the history of Weems'
escape, and it is published, that you would send him a copy of
the papers. He has not been very successful in getting work yet.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris left for Canada last week. The friends made
them a purse of $15 or $20, and we hope they will do well.
Mr. Lemmon sends his respects to you and Mrs. Still. Give my
kind regards to her and accept also yourself,
Yours very truly,
