board as Underground Rail Road passengers_.
HAMILTON, June 5th, 1858.
DEAR FRIEND STILL:--I have just heard that our friend Capt. B.
have being taken Prisoner in Virginia with slaves on board of
his vessel. I hard this about an hour ago. the Person told me of
this said he read it in the newspaper, if this be so it is
awfull. You will be so kind as to send me some information. Send
me one of the Virginia Papers. Poor fellow if they have got him,
I am sorry, sorry to my heart. I have not heard from my Uncle
for a long time if have heard or do hear anything from him at
any time you will oblige me by writing. I wish you to inquire of
Mr. Anderson's friends (if you know any of them), if they have
heard anything from him since he was in your city. I have
written to him twice since he was here according to his own
directions, but never received an answer. I wants to hear from
my mother very much, but cannot hear one word. You will present
my best regards to the friend. Mrs. Hill is quite sick.
Yours truly,
