energies toward the reclaiming his wife.  He can forward to you the one hundred dollars at any day that it may be wanted, and if you can do anything to forward his interests it will be very gratefully received as an additional favor on your part.  He asks for no money, but your kindly efforts, which he regards more highly than money.

    Very respectfully, N. CORYELL.

The letters that have been written for him were dated “Niagara Falls, Canada West,” and his friends think he is there—­none of them know to the contrary—­it is important that they never do know.  N.C.

    HAVANA, Sept. 29, 1856.

    MR. WM. STILL—­Dear Sir:—­I enclose herewith a draft on New
    York, payable to your order, for $100, to be paid on the
    delivery at Philadelphia of Daniel Robertson’s wife.

You can readily see that it has been necessary for Daniel to work almost night and day to have laid up so large an amount of money, since the first of April, as this one hundred dollars.  Daniel is industrious and prudent, and saves all of his earnings, above his most absolute wants.  If the Captain is not successful in getting Daniel’s wife, you, of course, will return the draft, without charge, as you said.  I hope success will attend him, for Daniel deserves to be rewarded, if ever man did.  Yours, &c.

    N. CORYELL.

    HAVANA, Jan. 2, 1857.

DEAR SIR:—­Your favor containing draft on N. York, for Daniel Robertson, came to hand on the 31st ult.  Daniel begs to tender his acknowledgments for your kind interest manifested in his behalf, and says he hopes you will leave no measure untried which has any appearance of success, and that the money shall be forthcoming at a moment’s notice.  Daniel thinks that since Christmas, the chances for his wife’s deliverance are fewer than before, for at that time he fears she was disposed of and possibly went South.

The paper sent me, with your well-written article, was received, and on reading it to Daniel, he knew some of the parties mentioned in it—­he was much pleased to hear it read.  Daniel spent New Year’s in Elmira, about 18 miles from this place, and there he met two whom he was well acquainted with.

    Yours, &c.,

    N. CORYELL.

    WM. STILL, Esq., Phila.

Such devotion to freedom, such untiring labor, such appeals as these letters contained awakened deep interest in the breasts of Daniel’s new friends, which spoke volumes in favor of the Slave and against slave-holders.  But, alas, nothing could be done to relieve the sorrowing mind of poor Daniel for the deliverance of his wife in chains.  The Committee sympathized deeply with him, but could do no more.  What other events followed, in Daniel’s life as a fugitive, were never made known to the Committee.
