Rebecca Williamson to Frederick Douglass, April 24, 1858

Boston. April 24^th 1858

Dear Sir:

I sent a letter to you some weeks since, requesting the withdrawal of my name from your subscription List, and enclosed therein, eight Postage Stamps, (those being more conviently enclosed in a Letter than Silver coin) to pay for the three or four papers which I received after the expiration of my year, which was about the last of February I think. But on going to the Post-Office the other day, I found the papers had been sent the same as before, and therefore concluded that you did not receive my letter.

I reside far from the Post office that the papers frequently remain in the office some weeks before I am

able to get them, and numbers are frequently lost. I therefore thought I would discontinue the paper until I was ever more favorably situated, which I hope may be before a great while.

Will you be kind enough to write and let me know if you received the other letter, and how much I still owe you.

I enclose an envelope superscribed for that purpose

Yours, very Respectfully,

Rebecca Williamson

To

Frederick Douglass Esq.

Rochester, N. Y.
