Letter, 1800 June 28 (Philadelphia) to Jacob Read (Newport, R.I.)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/726938248

Letter, 28 June 1800, of W[illiam] W[ard] Burrows, writing from Phil[adelphi]a, [Pennsylvania], to Jacob Read, in New Port, Rhode Island, re news of Read's fugitive African American slaves presumed to be headed towards Maryland. Burrows reports, "I wrote this Day to New York and now to Newport in hopes one of the Letters may reach you. John Thomas is apprehended, I had him before Mr. Jennings, but he denied any knowledge of y[ou]r Servants: he prevaricated very much, and Mr. Jennings has committed him to Jail 'till he can hear from you. It is believed y[ou]r Negroes are gone to Baltimore."
