ons, without concealment, he places
matters in such a light that the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not
err, as may here be seen.

WILMINGTON, 11th mo. 25th, 1857.

ESTEEMED FRIEND, WM. STILL:--I now send Johnson, one of our
colored men, up with the three men I wrote thee about. Johnson
has undertook to have them well washed and cleaned during the
day. And I have provided them with some second-hand clothes, to
make them comfortable, a new pair of shoes and stockings, and
shall pay Johnson for taking care of them. I mention this so
that thee may know. Thee need not advance him any funds. In the
present case I shall furnish them with money to pay their fare
to Philadelphia, and Johnson home again. Hoping they will get on
safe, I remain thy friend,

THOS. GARRETT.

FOUR FEMALES ON BOARD.

The fearless Garrett communicated through the mail, as usual, the
following intelligence:

WILMINGTON, 8th mo. 25th, 1859.

ESTEEMED FRIEND, WM. STILL:--The brig Alvena, of Lewistown, is
in the Delaware opposite here, with four females on board. The
colored man, who has them in charge, was employed by the husband
of one of them to bring his wife up. When he arrived here, he
found the man had left. As the vessel is bound to Red Bank, I
have advised him to take them there in the vessel, and to-morrow
take them in the steamboat to the city, and to the Anti-slavery
office. He says they owe the captain one dollar and fifty cents
for board, and I gave him three dollars, to pay the captain and
take them to your office. I have a man here, to go on to-night,
that was nearly naked; shall rig him out pretty comfortably.
Poor fellow, he has lost his left hand, but he says he can take
care of himself. In haste, thy friend,

THOS. GARRETT.

While Father Abraham was using his utmost powers to put down the
rebellion, in 1864, a young man who had "been most unrighteously sold
for seven years," desirous of enlisting, sought advice from the wise and
faithful Underground Rail Road manager, who gave him the following
letter, which may be looked upon in the light of a rare anecdote, as
there is no doubt but that the "professed non-resistant" in this
instance, hoped to see the poor fellow "_snugly fixed in his
regimentals_" doing service for "Father Abraham."

WILMINGTON, 1st mo. 23d, 1864.
