SENNETT, June, 1856.
MR. WILLIAM STILL:— Dear
Sir — I am happy to tell you that Charlotte Gildes and myself have got
along thus far safely. We have had no trouble and found friends all the way
along, for which we feel very thankful to you and to all our friends on the
road since we left. We reached Mr. Loguen’s in Syracuse, on last Tuesday
evening & on Wednesday two gentlemen from this community called and we went
with them to work in their families. What I wish you would do is to be so kind
as to send our clothes to this place if they should fall into your hands. We
hope our uncle in Baltimore will get the letter Charlotte wrote to him last
Sabbath, while we were at your house, concerning the clothes. Perhaps the best
would be to send them to Syracuse to the care of Mr. Loguen and he will send
them to us. This will more certainly ensure our getting them. If you hear
anything that would be interesting to Charlotte or me from Baltimore, please
direct a letter to us to this place, to the care of Revd. Chas. Anderson, Sennett,
Cayuga Co., N. Y. Please give my love and Charlotte's to Mrs. Still and thank
her for her kindness to us while at your house.
Your affectionate
friend,
HARRIET EGLIN.
