oners, Shrimp aud Cruel, called on me this
morning, ms a committee OF the Abolitionists,
and asked me if ! was willing to give up
brown sugar as it was the product of slave
labor | told them | was, and that | was
willing to eat no more meat, if it offended my
brother. " Then" said they, - YOU will
give up tobacco I'-i told them that | did
not think of that when spoke, and that |
could not give up tobacco. | believed it was

a comfortable state that Ie sat with me tor
