Augustina and Annie, residing near
Bridgeport, one with Mr.. Borden, the other
! with Mr.. Cooper; she (said Elizabeth) came
back TO my house on the next succeeding

left them in good health and very much con-
tented. Elizabeth left me the next day (Wed-

meaning to Mr.. Meyer's-on my last visit to
Mr.. Meyers in the latter part Of August
| Elizabeth Pawelski gave me the address on q
piece of paper of Mr. Borden, near
Bridgeport, where her two sisters we're
located, which address on the paper was
given to her by her father (MichaeI. After
my return home during the month of Septem-
Der had friend named Putzel (Mr b. L.
PutzeD to write a. letter for me to Mr.. Bor-
den, saying that John and Elizabeth Pawelsh
would like to sec their sisters. The letter is
hereto appended and marked ga" The reason
l asked the favor of Mr. Putzel to write for
me was because whilst write in German, /
am not good in writing in English. Mr.. Bor-
den, in response to that letter, brought
both of the girls (Augustina and Annie) up
to the city; they we're brought to my
husbands uncle's Jacob Shoemaker, residing
in Edward street, and when 1 learned they
were there l went to see them. Lizzie and
John Pawelsh did not come to the city
whilst their two sisters were here. They
seemed contented, and on being apprised by
me that their parents had gone out West,
they were very willing to return to Mr.. Bor-
dens and MIR. Coopers again, and they left
the city the next day. Elizabeth PawelslNi,
when she was in the city at Christmas time,
after her return from her sisters, spoke to me
about the baggage which had been left at
Mr.. Klohrs. She said that on her mothers
leaving Mr. Meyers she left word with her to
raise the money to pay Mr.. Klohr's bill
for board and other expenses, when they first
came to Philadelphia, obtain the baggage and
forward it to Milwaukee; that she had talked
the matter over with her sisters, and they
had agreed that they wouldn't do it, saying
that the articles were not fit to use any more,
having remained so long at the hotel, and
they wouldn't do it anyhow, as Mrs. Pawelsld
was not their right mother, but only step
mother, and had not used them right any
how. My mother (Mrs. Stevens) resides
within a quarter of mile of Mr.. Meyers
farm She was up to see me about three
weeks since, and spoke of Elizabeth and John
Pawelski, that they were we'll and at Mr..
Meyers place yet This is all know aboutit.
