Toronto, Feb. 20th, 1854.
MR. WILLIAM STILL:— Sir
— Your kind letter arrived safe at hand on the 18th, and I was very happy to
receive it. I now feel that I should return you some thanks for your kindness.
Dear sir I do pray from the bottom of my heart, that the high heavens may bless
you for your kindness; give my love to Mr. Bagnel and Mr. Minkins, ask them if
they have heard anything from my brother, tell Mr. Bagnel to give my love to my
sister-in-law and mother and all the family. I am now living at Russell's
Hotel; it is the first situation I have had since I have been here and I like
it very well. Sir you would oblige me by letting me know if Mr. Minkins has
seen my wife; you will please let me know as soon as possible. I wonder if Mr.
Minkins has thought of any way that he can get my wife away. I should like to
know in a few days.
Your well wisher,
Isaac Forman.
