Sir
Perhaps I should have your examination into application of the Fugitive Slave law in the following by the Fugitive Slave law of 1850 I believe that the Fugitive Slave law is a most effective measure for the recovery of fugitive slaves and for the maintenance of the Fugitive Slave law in all its parts.
Yours truly, J. M. [?] J. M. [?] J. M. [?]
