g in ease and luxury off of Jefferson's sweat and
labor. Louisa, Harriet and Grace owed service to Geo. Stewart of
Baltimore; Edward was owned by Chas. Moondo, and Chas. Lee by the above
Stewart.

Those who would have taken this party for stupid, or for know-nothings,
would have found themselves very much mistaken. Indeed they were far
from being dull or sleepy on the subject of Slavery at any rate. They
had considered pretty thoroughly how wrongfully they, with all others in
similar circumstances, had been year in and year out subjected to
unrequited toil so resolved to leave masters and mistresses to shift for
themselves, while they would try their fortunes in Canada.

Four of the party ranged in age from twenty to twenty-eight years of
age, and the other two from thirty-seven to forty. The Committee on whom
they called, rendered them due aid and advice, and forwarded them to the
Committee in New York.

The following letter from Jefferson, appealing for assistance on behalf
of his children in Slavery, was peculiarly touching, as were all similar
letters. But the mournful thought that these appeals, sighs, tears and
prayers would continue in most cases to be made till death, that nothing
could be done directly for the deliverance of such sufferers was often
as painful as the escape from the auction block was gratifying.

LETTER FROM JEFFERSON PIPKINS.

Sept. 28, 1856.

To WM. STILL. SIR:--I take the liberty of writing to you a few
lines concerning my children, for I am very anxious to get them
and I wish you to please try what you can do for me. Their names
are Charles and Patrick and are living with Mrs. Joseph G. Wray
Murphysborough Hartford county, North Carolina; Emma lives with
a Lawyer Baker in Gatesville North Carolina and Susan lives in
Portsmouth Virginia and is stopping with Dr. Collins sister a
Mrs. Nash you can find her out by enquiring for Dr. Collins at
the ferry boat at Portsmouth, and Rose a coloured woman at the
Crawford House can tell where she is. And I trust you will try
what you think will be the best way. And you will do me a great
favour.

Yours Respectfully,

JEFFERSON PIPKINS.

P.S. I am living at Yorkville near Toronto Canada West. My wife
sends her best respects to Mrs. Still.
