THOS. GARRETT._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.

Although having "to attend a brother, ill with an attack of apoplexy,"

Garrett took time to attend to the interest of the "twenty-one," as the

above letter indicates. How many other men in the United States, under

similar circumstances, would have been thus faithful?

On another occasion deeply concerned for A FORWARDER OF SLAVES, he wrote

WILMINGTON, 12th mo. 26th, 1855.

ESTEEMED FRIEND, WM. STILL:--The bearer of this, George Wilmer,

is a slave, whose residence is in Maryland. He is a true man,

and a forwarder of slaves. Has passed some twenty-five within

four months. He is desirous of finding some of his relations,

Wm. Mann and Thomas Carmichael, they passed here about a month

since. If thee can give him any information where they can be

found thee will much oblige him, and run no risk of their safety

in so doing. I remain, as ever, thy sincere friend,
