ee. The latter is not, however, as in past times, from
the Newcastle Anti-slavery Society, for, I am sorry to say, it
is not a sufficiently pains-taking and executive little body,
but more apt to work by fits and starts, but from our private
friends, who kindly place their money in our hands as their
Anti-slavery stewards. My friend S.R. will therefore kindly hand
for us: L3 for William Still, for fugitives; L3 for J.W. Jones,
for fugitives; L2 for Philadelphia Vigilance Committee, for
fugitives. Total L8.

We are very sorry for thee to have to incur so much persecution.
Be of good cheer, the right will eventually triumph, if not in
this world, in that day, when all shall be eventually righted on
our Lord's right hand. Oh, for ability in the meantime, to love
Him, trust Him, confide in Him implicitly!

Many thanks for the "Anti-slavery Standards." No one in this
town, takes them in, consequently we only see them occasionally.
Do any tidings reach you of our friend, Frederick Douglass? We
heard from him from Portland, but are anxiously looking for
another letter. He always spoke of thee, my friend, very kindly,
and one day, when some money had been given to him for
fugitives, said: "You shall have part of this if you like, for
William Still," but I said, "No, I will try and get some
elsewhere for him." Douglass left us in April, after losing his
little Annie, but wished his visit to be kept private, and hoped
to be able to return to England in August. My husband and I
agree with F.D. in political matters. We are not disunionists,
but want to mend your corrupted government. With kind regards,
sincerely thy friend, A.H.R.

We are well acquainted with William and Ellen Craft. They have
just sent us their little book.

NEWCASTLE, 5th mo., 2,1861.

W. STILL:--DEAR FRIEND:--That poor fellow, who was so long
secreted, had been often in my thoughts, when laying this case
of the fugitives before our friends. I should like thee to feel
at liberty to replace the remainder of the twenty-five dollars
from the accompanying ten pounds, which I have much pleasure in
forwarding, but think it better to mention, that it may perhaps
be the last remittance for some little time from this quarter,
as I do not at present see any immediate opening for getting
more. Our worthy
