Rochester, May 4. 1869

My dear Tilton:

Take no notice [in??] your paper of Mr Downing's note. Do for him what you did for me. Save him from himself - I send you herewith a copy of a note of mine to him - ten days ago.

Yours truly

Fredk Douglass

[left margin] This may come too late to Save Downing from your [Cash??] but I hope otherwise.

[right margin] Sorry to trouble you so much --
