HAMILTON, March 25th, 1856.
MR. STILL: — Sir and
Friend — I take the liberty of addressing you with these few lines hoping that
you will attend to what I shall request of you.
I have written to
Virginia and have not received an answer yet. I want to know if you can get any
one of your city to go to Richmond for me. If you can, I will pay the expense
of the whole. The person that I want the messenger to see is a white girl. I
expect you know who I allude to, it is the girl that sent me away. If you can
get any one to go, you will please write right away and tell me the cost,
&c. I will forward the money and a letter. Please use your endeavors.
Yours Respectfully,
JOHN HALL.
Direct yours to Mr.
Hill.
