DescriptionWilliam Still notes that he has not written to the recipient, his brother Peter Still, for some time due to uncertainty regarding Peter’s location; includes a letter of the Rev. S.J. May of Syracuse [see enclosure] which requests information, some of which only Peter can provide; reports that Mr. Birney’s efforts (with regard to arranging for the freedom of Peter’s enslaved family) were both minimal and unsuccessful; and notes that Birney was unhappy with not having more direct access to the money, which is held by Edward M. Davis. This item includes, as an enclosure, Samuel J. May’s letter of November 2, 1853, addressed to [William Still].
