HAVANA, Jan. 2, 1857.
DEAR SIR:--Your favor containing draft on N. York, for Daniel
Robertson, came to hand on the 31st ult. Daniel begs to tender
his acknowledgments for your kind interest manifested in his
behalf, and says he hopes you will leave no measure untried
which has any appearance of success, and that the money shall be
forthcoming at a moment's notice. Daniel thinks that since
Christmas, the chances for his wife's deliverance are fewer than
before, for at that time he fears she was disposed of and
possibly went South.
The paper sent me, with your well-written article, was received,
and on reading it to Daniel, he knew some of the parties
mentioned in it--he was much pleased to hear it read. Daniel
spent New Year's in Elmira, about 18 miles from this place, and
there he met two whom he was well acquainted with.
Yours, &c.,
