le life, and he has a glorious
reward in the bosom of God.

Peace to his memory! Noble old man, so pure and peaceful, and
yet so strong, firm, and fearless, so gentle, tender, and
truthful, afraid and ashamed of nothing but sin, and in love and
labor with every good work.

I could write on and fill many pages. But he desired no eulogy,
and needs none. He lives, and will live for ever in many hearts
and in the heaven of heavens above.

T. ISRAEL.

If it were necessary we might continue to introduce scores of
editorials, communications, epistles, etc., all breathing a similar
spirit of respect for the rare worth of this wonderful man, but space
forbids. In conclusion, therefore, with a view of presenting him in the
light of his own interesting letters, written when absorbed in his
peculiar work, from a large number on file the following are submitted:

WILMINGTON, 11th mo. 21st, 1855.

ESTEEMED FRIEND, WM. STILL:--Thine of this date, inquiring for
the twenty-one, and how they have been disposed of, has just
been received. I can only answer by saying, when I parted with
them yesterday forenoon, I gave the wife of the person, in whose
house they were, money to pay her expenses to Philadelphia and
back in the cars to pilot the four women to thy place. I gave
her husband money to pay a pilot to start yesterday with the ten
men, divided in two gangs; also a letter for thee. I hope they
have arrived safe ere this. I had to leave town soon after noon
yesterday to attend a brother ill with an attack of apoplexy,
and to-day I have been very much engaged. The place they stayed
here is a considerable distance off. I will make inquiry
to-morrow morning, and in case any other disposition has been
made of them than the above I will write thee. I should think
they have stopped to-day, in consequence of the rain, and most
likely will arrive safe to-morrow. In haste, thy friend,

THOS. GARRETT.

Although having "to attend a brother, ill with an attack of apoplexy,"
Garrett took time to attend to the interest of the "twenty-one," as the
above letter indicates. How many other men in the United States, under
similar circumstances, would have been thus faithful?

On another occasion deeply concerned for A FORWARDER OF SLAVES, he wrote
thus:

WILMINGTON, 12th mo. 26th, 1855.
