ws were administered fairly, the
Negro exercised his vote, could get land cheaply if he desired to
farm. The chief prejudice was shown in the schools though this
only in some places, this city for instance. But this was only
occasional, not general, and you are quite correct in saying that
"these British Americans never made the life of the Negro there
so intolerable as was the case in some of the free States."

On the same page there is a slight error in the use of the word
"towns" in connection with the settlements of refugees in
Southern Ontario.

"Dawn" was not a town but a farming community, "The Dawn
Settlement" "Colchester" was the same, it is the name now given
to a township in Essex county.

"Elgin" was not the name of a Settlement but of the association
which managed the settlement. Buxton was the settlement founded
by the Elgin association.

"Bush", _i.e._ "The Bush" is the term applied to a great tract of
country north of Toronto, bushland, in which there were some
Negro farmers.

"Wilberforce" was also a tract of land divided into farms and
termed the Wilberforce settlement. It is in Middlesex county,
near London.

"Riley" should be "Raleigh," it is the township in which the
Elgin association's settlement was located. It is in Kent County.

"Anderton" is also the name of a township in Essex county.

"Gonfield" should be "Gosfield." It is also a township in Essex
county.

These are only minor matters but you might desire to make the
change in another edition.

I think I shall write something dealing with the Canadian end of
your subject, from the economic standpoint. The _Journal_ is a
publication of which as Editor you can be proud. It maintains a
high standard. I intend to have it added to the Western
University's list of periodicals this year.

Sincerely yours,

_Dear Mr. Woodson_:

I have read most of the articles in the JOURNAL with deep
interest and think it a valuable periodical. One or two mistakes
I noticed; one writer says that President Lincoln thought that
"the war should be over in ninety days." It was Seward, _not_
Li
