Joseph Robinson to William Still, April 16, 1855


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.
