STEWART, SILAS M.HOLMES DETROIT, APRIL 22, 1845.
I have every reason to believe that they acted faithfully in the matter, but without success.

They wrote letters in every quarter where they would be likely to gain any information respecting her.

There were also two men sent from Michigan in the summer of 1845, down South, to find her if possible, and report--and whether they found out her condition, and refused to report, I am not able to say--but suffice it to say that they never have reported.

They were respectable men and true friends of the cause, one of whom was a Methodist minister, and the other a cabinet maker, and both white men.
The small spark of hope which had still lingered about my heart had almost become extinct..
