Slave Life in Georgia 126 E. JONES, Independent Minister. RICHARD BISHOP, Draper. WILLIAM SMITH. CHARLES FOX HINTON, Chemist. HENRY HEYDON, Printer and Stationer. John Brown, a fugitive slave, has been giving an interesting account at public meetings in Exeter of his sufferings in Slavery, and escape therefrom. We believe him to be a person fully deserving of credit. R. WERE FOX. JOHN DYMOND. THOMAS HINCKS. SAMUEL DAVIS. Exeter. There is no date to this testimonial, but it will easily be seen that it closely follows the above.-- ED. 27, New Broad Street, London, 20th June, 1851. The bearer of this, John Brown, has been recommended to me as an honest and industrious man. The information I have received privately about him is quite satisfactory. JOHN SCOBLE, Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society. Page 244 3, Winchester Buildings, June 23d, 1851. John Brown has brought very satisfactory testimonials to me, and from what I have seen of him, he appears to be a steady and deserving character. EDMUND FRY. ELIHU BURRITT. Wrexham, May 5th, 1852. 24.03.2006
Slave Life in Georgia 127 Although I was entirely unacquainted with the bearer, John Brown, until his arrival in Wrexham, I am so satisfied with the high testimonials he brings with him, that I have no hesitation of adding my name to those by which he is already recommended to the public. JOSEPH CLARE. 27, New Broad Street, 18th May, 1853. I am desirous of adding my testimony to those which John Brown, the bearer, already has in his possession. I have had many opportunities, as extraordinary as they were unexpected, of testing the accuracy of his narrative of his life and sufferings, and am quite satisfied that he is altogether trustworthy in this respect. I also believe him to be a man of upright views and sound principles, and who is most anxious to do something for his race, in calling attention to the capabilities of the free negroes of Canada to grow cotton in Africa and in Australia. He is directing their energies in the right way, and is also advancing the Anti-Slavery cause; for in proportion as free labour can be made to compete with slave labour, especially in the article of cotton, will Slavery be undermined. I hope he will meet with consideration from all the friends of the slave. The bearer, John Brown, is a total abstainer. L. A. CHAMEROVZOW, Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. Page 245 W. WESTMACOTT, Goddard's Arms Hotel, Swindon. Reading, 11 mo., 24, 1851. John Brown spent about a week here, during which time I saw some little of him, and he took a meal or two at my house. I looked over his testimonials, and know several of the parties whose names are attached to them, and fully satisfied myself that he was worthy of the attention of the friends of the poor slave. I presided at a meeting here, which was satisfactory. I understand that he is now wishing to excite a sympathy for the slaves of America, and raise a little 24.03.2006
