Slave Life in Georgia 128 fund for himself that will enable him to get to Canada; and I hope the people of Swindon will do their little to provide him the means for this purpose. I am, respectfully, GEORGE PALMER. February 19th, 1852. I have examined Mr. John Brown's testimonials, and, as far as I can judge, they appear to me to be correct, and that he is a deserving person. The Personage, Tipton. MY DEAR SIR, WM. KER. February 21st, 1852. The bearer of this note, Mr. John Brown, has presented me with testimonials in his favour; among these is a note from yourself, stating that you have examined him, and think him a deserving person. If you think any thing can be done for him or his cause--which, from extraneous appearance, Page 246 is certainly a good one--I shall be happy to give the use of my room for the purpose of a lecture, c. I am, dear Sir, Yours very respectfully, DEAR SIR, RICHARD WARMINGTON. The Rev. W. KER, M.A. Bridgewater, March 31st, 1853. The bearer, Mr. John Brown, an escaped slave, is desirous of visiting Manchester, in order to advance what appears to me a very practical plan for the amelioration of the condition of the coloured population of America. His 24.03.2006

I am sure you will exert your influence on his behalf, and if you can procure him a favourable opportunity of advocating his views in Manchester you will oblige Yours most sincerely, S. ALFRED STEINTHAL. Rev. J. R. BEARD, D.D. The testimonials which John Brown has produced satisfy us that his narrative is a truthful one, and as such, its being related must give a very affecting picture of American slavery, and tend to increase the feeling of abhorrence of that system of iniquity. E. WIGHAM, Secretary to the Edinburgh Ladies' Emancipation Society.10th mo., 1853. Page 247 John Brown, a fugitive Slave, happily escaped from that hell of sin and misery, "a Slave State," waited on me some weeks ago. His testimonials--some from persons known to me in this country and in America--established his truthfulness to my conviction. I presided at a meeting which he addressed with interesting power, especially considering his being shut out from the mental training enjoyed by the "Free." He gave a simple, graphic narrative of his escape, c. The audience was gratified. I introduced him to my friend, the Rev. William Parlane, of Tranent. John addressed a meeting in Tranent with approval, and also at Prestonpans. I gave him a testimonial, and I thus repeat it for the following reason. Mr. Smith, one of the Magistrates of Glasgow, wrote me that John had been shewing his testimonials, had, after a few minutes' interval, returned to the shop, saying some one had rudely jostled him on the street, and, on searching, he found that his pocket-book, containing all his testimonials, had been abstracted. The Messrs. Smith, knowing that John could not have been in improper company, that his tale was true, took means, by advertisement, c., for the 24.03.2006
