WILMINGTON, 7th mo., 19th, 1856.
RESPECTED FRIEND, WILLIAM STILL:--I now have the pleasure of
consigning to thy care four able-bodied human beings from North
Carolina, and five from Virginia, one of which is a girl twelve
or thirteen years of age, the rest all men. After thee has seen
and conversed with them, thee can determine what is best to be
done with them. I am assured they are such as can take good care
of themselves. Elijah Pennypacker, some time since, informed me
he could find employment in his neighborhood for two or three
good hands. I should think that those from Carolina would be
about as safe in that neighborhood as any place this side of
Canada. Wishing our friends a safe trip, I remain thy sincere
friend,
