In his business-like transactions, without concealment, he places
matters in such a light that the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not
err, as may here be seen.
WILMINGTON, 11th mo. 25th, 1857.
ESTEEMED FRIEND, WM. STILL:--I now send Johnson, one of our
colored men, up with the three men I wrote thee about. Johnson
has undertook to have them well washed and cleaned during the
day. And I have provided them with some second-hand clothes, to
make them comfortable, a new pair of shoes and stockings, and
shall pay Johnson for taking care of them. I mention this so
that thee may know. Thee need not advance him any funds. In the
present case I shall furnish them with money to pay their fare
to Philadelphia, and Johnson home again. Hoping they will get on
safe, I remain thy friend,
