P.S.  I would like to know what became of Johnson,[A] the man
    whose foot was smashed by jumping off the cars, he was at your
    house when I was there.

    [Footnote A:  Johnson was an unfortunate young fugitive, who,
    while escaping, beheld his master or pursuer in the cars, and
    jumped therefrom, crushing his feet shockingly by the bold act.]

all the passengers passing over the Philadelphia Underground Rail Road
shall be noticed.

James Burrell.  James was certainly justifiable in making his escape, if for no other reason than on the score of being nearly related to the chivalry of the South.  He was a mulatto (the son of a white man evidently), about thirty-two years of age, medium size, and of an agreeable appearance.  He was owned by a maiden lady, who lived at Williamsburg, but not requiring his services in her own family, she hired him out by the year to a Mr. John Walker, a manufacturer of tobacco, for which she received $120 annually.  This arrangement was not satisfactory to James.  He could not see why he should be compelled to wear the yoke like an ox.  The more he thought over his condition, the more unhappy was his lot, until at last he concluded, that he could not stand Slavery any longer.  He had witnessed a great deal of the hardships of the system of Slavery, and he had quite enough intelligence to portray the horrors thereof in very vivid colors.  It was the auction-block horror that first prompted him to seek freedom.  While thinking how he would manage to get away safely,
