ST. CATHABINE, UPPER
CANADA WEST.
MR. WILLIAM STILL:— I am now in safety I arrived at home
safe on the 11th inst at 12 o’clock M. So I hope that you will now take it upon
yourself to inform me something of that letter I left at your house that night
when I left there and write me word how you are and how is your wife I wish you
may excuse this letter for I am so full that I cannot express my mind at all I
am only got $1.50 and I feel as if I had an independent fortune but I dont want
you to think that I am going to be idle because I am on free ground and I shall
always work though I am not got nothing to do at present Direct your letter to
the post office as soon as possible.
SAMUEL WASHINGTON
JOHNSON.
