J[ermain] W[esley] Loguen to Frederick Douglass, February 21, 1863

LETTER FROM J. W. LOGUEN.

SYRACUSE, Feb., 21 1863.

DEAR FRIEND DOUGLASS—

I wish to acknowledge through your very kind paper a welcome donation of £5, sent to me through that friend to our poor people, Mrs. Julia G. Crofts of England, for the benefit of the contrabands that may come by the way of Syracuse, or within my missionary field of labor, Binghamton and Montrose, where I find much to do—from the Edinburgh Ladies Anti-Slavery Society £3, and from the Coventry Ladies Society £2. In these times of our national troubles, it is consoling to know that we have kind friends that will not forget us, in our endeavors to do good among our outraged people, in this land of and carnage.

Yours, for Liberty—

J. W. LOGUEN.

Missionary.
