Quotes from Letter, July 5, 1858,
Dr. John Jenkins, Hamilton, Canada, to Richard K. Call:
thanking him for his "kind and benevolent
treatment to my Daughter. . ." and asking "what will be your price, as
low as you can grant it to a Father" for the freedom of Mary, Jenkins'
daughter and Call's slave: "Through the mysterious darkness that
threw a veil between myself and children for many
years -- Thanks be to the Great Father. It has pleased God of late
to shed Light upon my path and open the way to hear from them, and also
give a lenient heart to the owners of Martha to place her in my power to
obtain her, for which they have my sincere thanks, and I feel anxious learn
from your own pen, your mind and your price, if you will be so kind as
to give me an answer." |
