James Hamlet, a porter in a Water Street store, was arrested on the basis of an affidavit from Mary Brown of Baltimore, making him the first person arrested under the authority of the Fugitive Slave Act. The sum of eight hundred dollars was quickly raised to secure his freedom. Following the purchase of his freedom he returned to New York City on October 5th, 1850, just five days prior to Hopper's writing this letter.
