"What has become of Harriet Tubman?" (agent of the Underground Rail
Road), is made a subject of special inquiry in the following note:
WILMINGTON, 3d mo., 27th, 1857.
ESTEEMED FRIEND, WILLIAM STILL:--I have been very anxious for
some time past, to hear what has become of Harriet Tubman. The
last I heard of her, she was in the State of New York, on her
way to Canada with some friends, last fall. Has thee seen, or
heard anything of her lately? It would be a sorrowful fact, if
such a hero as she, should be lost from the Underground Rail
Road. I have just received a letter from Ireland, making inquiry
respecting her. If thee gets this in time, and knows anything
respecting her, please drop me a line by mail to-morrow, and I
will get it next morning if not sooner, and oblige thy friend.
I have heard nothing from the eighth man from Dover, but trust
he is safe.
