"Four able-bodied men," form the subject of the subjoined
correspondence:

WILMINGTON, 11th mo., 4th, 1856.

ESTEEMED FRIENDS, J. Miller McKim and William Still:--Captain
F., has arrived here this day, with four able-bodied men. One is
an engineer, and has been engaged in sawing lumber, a second, a
good house-carpenter, a third a blacksmith, and the fourth a
farm hand. They are now five hundred miles from their home in
Carolina, and would be glad to get situations, without going far
from here. I will keep them till to-morrow. Please inform me
whether thee knows of a suitable place in the country where the
mechanics can find employment at their trades for the winter;
let me hear to-morrow, and oblige your friend,

"What has become of Harriet Tubman?" (agent of the Underground Rail

WILMINGTON, 3d mo., 27th, 1857.

ESTEEMED FRIEND, WILLIAM STILL:--I have been very anxious for
some time past, to hear what has become of Harriet Tubman. The
last I heard of her, she was in the State of New York, on her
way to Canada with some friends, last fall. Has thee seen, or
heard anything of her lately? It would be a sorrowful fact, if
such a hero as she, should be lost from the Underground Rail
Road. I have just received a letter from Ireland, making inquiry
respecting her. If thee gets this in time, and knows anything

will get it next morning if not sooner, and oblige thy friend.

I have heard nothing from the eighth man from Dover, but trust
he is safe.

THOMAS GARRETT.
