ting him as a hard man. "He
would often threaten to sell, and was very hard to please." George and
Angeline left their mother and ten brothers and sisters.

Jane was a well-grown girl, smart, and not bad-looking, with a fine
brown skin, and was also owned by Schaeffer.

Letters from the enterprising Charlotte and Harriet (arrival No. 1),
brought the gratifying intelligence, that they had found good homes in
Western New York, and valued their freedom highly. Three out of quite a
number of letters received from them from time to time are subjoined.

SENNETT, June, 1856.

MR. WILLIAM STILL:--_Dear Sir_:--I am happy to tell you that
Charlotte Gildes and myself have got along thus far safely. We
have had no trouble and found friends all the way along, for
which we feel very thankful to you and to all our friends on the
road since we left. We reached Mr. Loguen's in Syracuse, on last
Tuesday evening & on Wednesday two gentlemen from this community
called and we went with them to work in their families. What I
wish you would do is to be so kind as to send our clothes to
this place if they should fall into your hands. We hope our
uncle in Baltimore will get the letter Charlotte wrote to him
last Sabbath, while we were at your house, concerning the
clothes. Perhaps the best would be to send them to Syracuse to
the _care of Mr. Loguen_ and he will send them to us. This will
more certainly ensure our getting them. If you hear anything
that would be interesting to Charlotte or me from Baltimore,
please direct a letter to us to this place, to the care of Revd.
Chas. Anderson, Sennett, Cayuga Co., N.Y. Please give my love
and Charlotte's to Mrs. Still and thank her for her kindness to
us while at your house.

Your affectionate friend,

HARRIET EGLIN.

MR. WM. STILL:--_My Dear Friend_:--I have just received your
note of 29th inst. and allow me dear sir, to assure you that the
only letter I have written, is the one you received, an answer
to which you sent me. I never wrote to Baltimore, nor did any
person write for me there, and it is with _indescribable grief_,
that I hear what your letter communicates to me, of those who
you say have gotten into difficulty on my account. My Cousin
Charlotte who came with me, got into a good place in this
