WILLIAM STILL._The Underground Railroad A Record of Facts, Authentic Narratives, Letters, &c., Narrating the Hardships, Hair-Breadth Escapes and Death Struggles of the Slaves in Their Efforts for Freedom, As Related by Themselves and Others, or Witnessed by the Author.

ST. CATHARINES, Jan. 26, 1857.

MR. WM. STILL:--Dear Sir--I write at this time in behalf of Otho

Taylor. He is very anxious to go and get his family at Clear

Spring, Washington county, Md. He would like to know if the

Society there would furnish him the means to go after them from

Philadelphia, that you will be running no risk in doing this. If

the Society can do this, he would not be absent from P. more

than three days.

He is so anxious to get his family from slavery that he is

willing to do almost anything to get them to Canada. You may

possibly recollect him--he was at your place last August. I

think he can be trusted. If you can do something for him, he has

the means to take him to your place.

Please let me know immediately if you can do this.

Respectfully yours,
