But no more of this, for although you were born in a land where domestic slavery prevailed, yet I hope you will never live in such a land, nor know the countless evils that flow from a system so iniqui- tous * * * . I do and have endured more anguish of mind and real unhappiness from the parting with my faithful set of domestics, male and fe- male, than from any other single source of mis- fortune or calamity. The poor creatures seem to look up to me as to some superior power, they depend on me..., to me they are attached by the strongest ties of interest and gratitude and I feel somehow as if I had failed them, and as if they had put their trust in one who was not true to their hopes and expectations. I have been kind to them while in my possession and it is a com- fort to reflect that I have been so." Is it to be wondered at that these servants or anyone else who honors Christian manliness, loved my dear grandfather so dearly ? w. t. p. m Mor se -4 " He only deserves to be remembered by posterity who treasures up and preserves the history of his ancestors." Burke.
