Frederick Douglass to Theodore Tilton, May 4, 1869
Rochester, May 4. 1869
My dear Tilton:
Take no notice in your paper of Mr Downing's note. Do for him what you did for me. Save
him from himself. I send you herewith a copy of a note of mine to him—ten days ago.
Yours truly
Fredk Douglass
This may come too late to Save Downing from your Cash but I hope otherwise.
