from him:

TORONTO, April 25, 1857.

To MR. WM. STILL--Dear Sir:--I take this opportunity of
addressing these few lines to inform you that I am well and hope
that they may find you and your family enjoying the same good
health. Please to give my love to you and your family. I had a
very pleasant trip from your house that morning. Dear sir, you
would oblige me much, if you have not sent that box to Mr.
Robinson, to open it and take out the little yellow box that I
tied up in the large one and send it on by express to me in
Toronto. Lift up a few of the things and you will find it near
the top. All the clothes that I have are in that box and I stand
in need of them. You would oblige me much by so doing. I stopped
at Mr. Jones' in Elmira, and was very well treated by him while
there. I am now in Toronto and doing very well at present. I am
very thankful to you and your family for the attention you paid
to me while at your house. I wish you would see Mr. Ormsted and
ask him if he has not some things for Mr. Anthony Loney, and if
he has, please send them on with my things, as we are both
living together at this time. Give my love to Mr. Anthony, also
to Mr. Ormsted and family. Dear sir, we both would be very glad
for you to attend to this, as we both do stand very much in need
of them at this time. Dear sir, you will oblige me by giving my
love to Miss Frances Watkins, and as she said she hoped to be
out in the summer, I should like to see her. I have met with a
gentleman here by the name of Mr. Truehart, and he sends his
best love to you and your family. Mr. Truehart desires to know
whether you received the letter he sent to you, and if so,
answer it as soon as possible. Please answer this letter as soon
as possible. I must now come to a close by saying that I remain
your beloved friend,

LEWIS COBB.

The young man who was there that morning, Mr. Robinson, got
married to that young lady.

TORONTO, June 2d, 1857.

To MR. WM. STILL--Dear Sir:--I received yours dated May 6th, and
was extremely happy to hear from you. You may be surprised that
I have not answered you before this, but it was on account of
not knowing anything concerning the letter being in the
post-office until I was told so b
