I have become satisfied that it will be entirely best to
have all my freight removed from Conneaut, and stored away safe with very quiet
friends, and all marks removed from the boxes.1 I have lately
learned of some circumstances which satisfy me that this will certainly be a
prudent measure; and I wish you to effect it as soon as you can without extra
effort and sacrifice. Have not heard from you for some days. Write N. Hawkins,
care of F. Douglass.
