TORONTO, Feb. 20th, 1854.
MR. WILLIAM STILL:--_Sir_--Your kind letter arrived safe at hand
on the 18th, and I was very happy to receive it. I now feel that
I should return you some thanks for your kindness. Dear sir I do
pray from the bottom of my heart, that the high heavens may
bless you for your kindness; give my love to Mr. Bagnel and Mr.
Minkins, ask them if they have heard anything from my brother,
tell Mr. Bagnel to give my love to my sister-in-law and mother
and all the family. I am now living at Russell's Hotel; it is
the first situation I have had since I have been here and I like
it very well. Sir you would oblige me by letting me know if Mr.
Minkins has seen my wife; you will please let me know as soon as
possible. I wonder if Mr. Minkins has thought of any way that he
can get my wife away. I should like to know in a few days.
Your well wisher,
