PAMPHLET, AND LETTERS

FROM MRS. ANNA H. RICHARDSON, OF NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND.

TO THE FRIENDS OF THE SLAVE.

DEAR FRIENDS--For some months past my dear husband and I have
wished very gratefully to thank you for having so kindly
assisted us in various Anti-Slavery efforts, and we now think it
quite time to give an account of our stewardship, and also to
lay before you several items of interesting intelligence
received from different parts of the United States. We will
thank you to look upon this intelligence as private, and must
request you to guard against any portion of it being reprinted.

WILLIAM S. BAILEY.--We have had great pleasure in forwarding
L222 to our valued correspondent, William S. Bailey, of Newport,
Kentucky; L160 of this sum in response to a circular issued at
Newcastle in the summer of last year, and received by our
friend, David Oliver, who acted as treasurer, and the remainder
chiefly collected by our dear young friends in England and
Ireland, after reading the account of his little daughter,
"Laura." This money has been very thankfully acknowledged, with
the exception of the last remittance just now on the road.

Most of our readers will be aware that W.S. Bailey's
printing-office and premises were again ruthlessly attacked
after the Harper's Ferry outbreak, on the unfounded assumption
that he was meditating a similar proceeding, and that it was
unsafe for a free press to be any longer tolerated in Kentucky.
His forms and type were accordingly dragged through the streets
of Newport, and a considerable portion of them flung by a mob
(of "gentlemen") into the Ohio River. A few extracts from his
own letters will pretty fully explain both his past and present
position. The subscription list on his behalf is still open, and
any further assistance for this heroic man and his noble-hearted
family will be very gratefully received and forwarded.

"NEWPORT, KENTUCKY, Nov. 19th, 1859.

"From my letter of the 7th inst. you will have learned
the sad intelligence that my printing-office has been
destroyed by a brutal mob of Pro-Slavery men. Through
the money I received from you and other friends in this
