Sherman was on his
raid, and Grant was hemming in Lee. Everywhere the condition of the
freedmen attracted the attention of the friends of humanity, and no one
felt more keenly their wants than Clotelle; and to their education and
welfare she resolved to devote the remainder of her life, and for this
purpose went to the State of Mississippi, and opened a school for the
freedmen; hired teachers, paying them out of her own purse. In the
summer of 1866, the Poplar Farm, on which she had once lived as a slave,
was confiscated and sold by Government authority, and was purchased by
Clotelle, upon which she established a Freedmen's School, and where at
this writing,--now June, 1867,--resides the "Angel of Mercy."
