SCHUYLKILL, 11th Mo., 29th, 1855.

WILLIAM STILL DEAR FRIEND: - Those boys will be along by the last Norristown train tomorrow evening. I think the train leaves Norristown at 6 o'clock, but of this inform thyself. The boys will be sent to a friend at Norristown, with instructions to assist them in getting seats in the last train that leaves Norristown to-morrow evening. They are two of the eleven who left some time since, and took with them some of their master's horses; I have told them to remain in the cars at Green street until somebody meets them.

E. F. PENNYPACKER.
