and that Everything was Right with her, and she hoped that he
would lose no time in sending for her for she was Ready and
awaiting for him. Well friend Still, we learnt that Mr. Minkens
could not bring her the account of her child. We are very sorry

with care, as we have learnt that Minkens Cannot do what we
wishes to be done; we perpose another way. There is a white man
that Sale from Richmond to Boston, that man are very Safe, he
will bring F's wife with her child. So you will do us a favour
