EGuERRIER in Philadelphia. and later IN tht
Havana; but since that time In 1899. have
I never heard of him-and am totally ignoran
/ of what may have been his fate.
cannot believe that he ever attempted to pas:
himself for me; but of this am certain, that
4 never assumed his name, nor ever attempted t
I pass myself of for him.
Il believe never went to Haddonfield, but
am positive tha. 1 never lodged or boarded ther,
at your fathers house or any other. 1t is now
so long, about forty years, since L was in Phila
delphia, that my recollections are become con
! fused !; but believe dined there once in com
pany with member Of the Society of Friends
whose name was REDMAN, at the house Of an
other member of the same society whose name
was believe JOHN ELLIOT, and to whom hac
been introduced by Mr.. GURREIER.
l regret, Sir, to be unable to give you more
complete information in answer to your inqui
ries and must add, that highly value the ia
jvorable opinion entertained of me in the Unitet
States, and thank you for having expressed j
in manner so gratifying to my feelings.
