I have just received your paper containing
the information that you had been prevailed
upon to publish a Book entitled "MY BONDAGE
AND MY FREEDOM;" and from the Extracts
that I saw I would be delighted to have a look
at one of them. If it is possible, Friend Dou-
glass, for you to send one of them by mail, do
so, and I will be at all the expense.

I receive two or more of your papers on the
arrival of every mail. But I can't get a letter
from my family above once in three months,
and the cause of it I can't imagine. I like
much your remarks in regard to the Wheeler
Drama that took place in Philadelphia. It
really seems that those colored men that acted
their part in that matter have been forgotten;
for feeling a deep interest in what goes on at
home, I looked anxiously for their names, and
have been disappointed. I would say let their
names stand forth in blazing letters, that the
tyrants may know that their pound of flesh is
in danger of taking wings and flying from them,
whenever they dare to pollute the soil of Penn-
sylvania.

Believe me ever, yours respectfully,

GEO. W. GOINES.
