SAINT CATHARINE, April
16, 1855.
MR. WILLIAM STILL, DEAR SIR:— Your letter of date April 7th
I have just got, it had been opened before it came to me. I have not received any
other letter from you and can get no account of them in the Post Office in this
place, I am well and have got a good situation in this city and intend staying
here. I should be very glad to hear from you as soon as convenient and also
from all of my friends near you. My Brother is also at work with me and doing
well.
There is nothing here that would interest you in the way of
news. There is a Masonic Lodge of our people and two churches and societys here
and some other institutions for our benefit. Be kind enough to send a few lines
to the Lady spoken of for that mocking bird and much oblige me. write me soon
and believe me your obedient Servt
Love & respects
to Lady and daughter
JOSEPH ROBINSON.
