29 6th AVENUE, New YORK, May 24th, 1854.
MY DEAR MR. STILL:— Your kind letter of the 22d inst has
come to hand and I have to thank you for your offices of benevolence to my bone
and my flesh, I have had the pleasure of doing a little for your brother Peter,
but I do not think it an offset. My burden has been great about these brethren.
I hope they have started on to me. Many thanks, my good friend.
Yours Truly.
J. W. C. PENNINGTON.
