Writes to Leigh in New York: "It occurs to me, that occasionally there may be colored servant girls- refugees- to be obtained, and that through the National Society, you may have something to do with finding places for them. I should like a good house servant very much- if such is to be had." Predicts that the Civil War will not last much longer. Hopes for peace, "but not for any peace that shall leave a particle of slavery in the Constitution." 1 black and white bust engraving of Neal Dow.
