DescriptionKate Pickard acknowledges receiving Peter Still’s letter; relates information from her sister Julia, in Tuscumbia or vicinity, regarding a Dr. Hargraves and a Judge Weakley there who are sympathetic to his cause; acknowledges that the higher price of 5,000 dollars quoted to Mr. Thornton for Peter’s enslaved family after the "attempt to run them off" [help them run away] is probably really meant by Maj. McKiernan; counsels Peter not to loose his patience or temper; and quotes from Julia's letter (including some information about people in Tuscumbia).
