IN hiShard Realf, one of our original party and
our Secretary of State came from Chatham to

ARRIVAL from the east. Soon after his arrival
ne tCapt. b sent Realf to New York city. at
wuieh place he embarked for England for the
purpose of carrying out the plans of Capt
Brown. Realf was born and raised in Eng

he left for England, TO which place he went in
his own capacity and that OF our Secretary of
State, to solicit funds for the support of our
organization. He proposed to deliver a course
of lectures in various parts of England, and
the net pr ceeds of which were to be given to
