William Preston Smith to A. P. Shutt, October 25, 1859—2 p.m.

Baltimore, Oct. 25, 1859—2 P. M.
A. P. Shutt,
        Harper's Ferry:

A stranger fell from one of the trains, near town, and is hurt.

He is supposed to be one of the fugitives, and may be Cook.

Can you get a good man who knows Cook and the others to come down and see him? He calls himself ——.

W. P. SMITH.
