To WM. STILL SIR:-I take the liberty of writing to you a few lines concerning my children, for I am very anxious to get them and I wish you to please try what you can do for me. Their names are Charles and Patrick and are living with Mrs. Joseph G. Wray Murphysborough Hartford county, North Carolina; Emma lives with a Lawyer Baker in Gatesville North Carolina and Susan lives in Portsmouth Virginia and is stopping with Dr. Collins sister a Mrs. Nash you can find her out by enquiring for Dr. Collins at the ferry boat at Portsmouth, and Rose a coloured woman at the Crawford house can tell where she is. And I trust you will try what you think will be the best way. And you will do me a great favour.
Yours Respectfully, JEFFERSON PIPKIINS.
P. S. I am living at Yorkville near Toronto Canada West. My wife sends her best respects to Mrs. Still.
