Frederick Douglass to Sojourner Truth, May 2, 1871
ROCHESTER, N. Y., MAY 3, 1871.
MY DEAR SOJOURNER TRUTH:—
I rejoice to find you strong in health, vigorous in mind, warm in heart, and, as usual, full of noble purposes, looking to the welfare of suffering men and women. May you long live to bless, cheer, and enlighten, and to lift up the oppressed, and smooth the pathway of the lowly, and may you see the fruit of your labors multiply more than sixty or an hundred fold.
FREDERIC DOUGLAS.
