J[ermain] W[esley] Loguen to Frederick Douglass, June 8, 1859

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

SYRACUSE, June 8, 1859.

DEAR FRIEND:—I wish to acknowledge in your paper the following kind favors from friends of the slave in the Old World:

From Liverpool L. A. S. Society . . . . . . . . . .£10 " Berwick-on-Tweed " . . . . . . . . . 4

In behalf of the fugitives that call on me in search of liberty, I thank these kind ladies for their remembrance of my poor people in their distress and troubles. These donations were sent to me by our kind and ever true friend, Mrs. Julia G. Crofts, whose friendship to my poor enslaved people I shall ever feel thankful for. May the Lord bless her with a long and happy life is my wish. I would have acknowledged these donations sooner, had I not been absent from home talking for the slave, and trying to do something for my Book, which I hope to make a means of doing good for the cause of the slave and the Underground Railroad.

Yours, as ever,

J. W. LOGUEN,

General Agent of the U. G. R. R. in Syracuse, New York.
