HAMILTON, June 22d,
1858, C. W.
To Mr. WM. STILL,
DEAR SIR:— A favorable opportunity affords the pleasure of acknowledging
the receipt of letters and papers; certainly in this region they were highly
appreciated, and I hope the time may come that your kindness will be
reciprocated we are al well at present, but times continue dull. I also deeply
regret the excitement recently on the account of those slaves, you will favor
me by keeping me posted upon the subject. Those words written to slaveholder is
the thought of one who had sufferd, and now I thought it a duty incumbent upon
me to cry aloud and spare not, &c., by sending these few lines where the
slaveholder may hear. You will still further oblige your humble servant also,
to correct any inaccuracy. My respects to you and your family and all inquiring
friends.
Your friend and well
wisher,
EDMUND TURNER.
