We will see that the proper measures for the freedom of Mrs.Bibb and child are taken, and if it be within our means we will accomplish it--nay we will accomplish it, if the objects be living and the friends sustain us.

But should we fail, the contributions will be held subject to the order of the donors, less however, by a proportionate deduction of expenses from each.
The hope of this re-union will nerve the heart and body of Mr.Bibb to re-doubled effort in a cause otherwise dear to him.

And as he will devote his whole time systematically to the anti-slavery cause, he must also depend on friends for the means of livelihood.

We bespeak for him your hospitality, and such pecuniary contributions as you can afford, trusting that the latter may be sufficient to enable him to keep the field.
