Frederick Douglass to Lynda Francis, March 13, 1852
Rochester March 13th 1852.
Mrs. Frances,
Dear Madam. The most of the letters of Mr. Francis have already been published in my paper and his paper has been regularly sent to California. Why he does not get them is to me unknown.
I am quite sorry to be unable to send you the manuscript of his letters. I had no idea that they would be wanted and have therefore taken no pains to preserve them. I shall however be careful to do so in future.
With great respect—your obedt Servant
