Correspondence, September-October, 1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20839513

Three letters from E.R. Brown of North Mountain, Va., to Mary Baylor, concerning her slave, William, who is imprisoned in the Hagerstown (Md.) jail. Brown offers Miss Baylor his assistance in crossing Confederate lines to retrieve William before he is sold. The final letter is an angry reply to an "impertinent" message from Miss Baylor and contains a cartoon vignette of slaves fleeing to Fort Monroe, Va., while a Southern master dressed in a white suit and with a whip attempts to stop them.
