DescriptionWilliam Still states that he has received news of the recipient, Peter Still, through the latter’s letter sent via the Rev. Samuel J. May (whom William regards as likely to be of great service in efforts to free Peter’s enslaved family members); confesses that he nearly despairs over the formidable task that Peter has set for himself in securing their freedom; provides an opinion of the amount of money that might be raised for this purpose in Philadelphia; encloses a letter [not present] from Mr. McKeirnon [sic]; notes that the Seth Conklin letters, one of which Peter requested, are at present with the Rev. W.H. Furness (who is writing up some of Conklin’s adventures [in the unsuccessful attempt to bring Peter’s family to freedom]); and reports that their mutual family members are well.
