at matter. I am doing tolrable well
in my line of business, and think I will do better after little.
I hope you all will never stop any of our Brotheran that makes
their Escep from the South but send them on to this Place where
they can be free man and woman. We want them here and not in
your State where they can be taken away at any hour. Nay but let
him come here where he can Enjoy the Rights of a human being and
not to be trodden under the feet of men like themselves. All the
People that comes here does well. Thanks be to God that I came
to this place. I would like very well to see you all but never
do I expect to see you in the United States. I want you all to
come to this land of Liberty where the bondman can be free. Come
one come all come to this place, and I hope my dear friend you
will send on here. I shall do for them as you all done for me
when I came on here however I will do the best I can for them if
they can they shall do if they will do, but some comes here that
can't do well because they make no efford. I hope my friend you
will teach them such lessons as Mrs. Moore Give me before I left
your city. I hope she may live a hundred years longer and enjoy
good health. May God bless her for the good cause which she are
working in. Mr. Still you ask me to remember you to Nelson. I
will do so when I see him, he are on the lake so is Stewart. I
received a letter to-day for Stewart from your city which letter
I will take to him when he comes to the city. He are not stoping
with us at this time. I was very sorry a few days ago when I
heard that a man was taken from your city.

Send them over here, then let him come here and take them away
and I will try to have a finger in the Pie myself. You said that
you had written to my wife ten thousand thanks for what you have
done and what you are willing to do. My friend whenever you hear
from my wife please write to me. Whenever she come to your city
please give instruction how to travel. I wants her to come the
faster way. I wish she was here now. I wish she could get a
ticket through to this place. I have mail a paper for you to
day.

We have had snow but not to last long. Let me hear from you. My
Respect friend Brown. I will write more when I have the
opportunity.

Yours with Respect,

JOHN H. HILL.
