DEATH AND BURIAL OF A SLAVE'S INFANT.
"The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his
master."
A Southern gentleman, who was visiting in New York, sent me, with his
reply to my inquiries for the welfare of his family at home, the
following letter which he had just received from one of his married
daughters in the South.
The reader will be so kind as to take the assurance which the writer
hereby gives him, that the letter was received under the circumstances
now stated, and that it is not a fiction. Certain names and the date
only are, for obvious reasons, omitted.
THE LETTER.
MY DEAR FATHER,--
You have so recently heard from and about those of us left here, and
that in a so much more satisfactory way than through letters, that it
scarcely seems worth while to write just yet. But Mary left Kate's poor
little baby in such a pitiable state, that I think it will be a relief
to all to hear that its sufferings are ended.
