December 7-13, 1856
Go down to Music Hall on Monday--find
Sister Mary alone--brother Jim having taken
the freed servants to Norfolk, to ship them
for "Africa's sunny clime."--he gets back this
week & has so many amusing stories to tell
of their trip down--poor things! To many
of them their freedom will prove any-
thing but a blessing--My kindest wishes
attend them to their new home.

April 12-18, 1857
Hear some sad accounts of the servants who were sent
to Africa. Some ten or fifteen of their
number are already dead--Mary
Lewis at home poorly--the weather quite
warm again.
