We will take the man, woman and two children from here with him, and the four men will get in at Marcus Hook. Thee may take Harry Craige by the hand as a brother, true to the cause, he is one of our most efficient aids on the Rail Road, and worthy of full confidence. May they all be favored to get on safe. The woman and three children are no common stock. I assure thee fine specimens of humanity are seldom met with. I hope ??? and children may be enabled to find her husband, who has been absent some years, and the rest of their day be happy together. I am, as ever thy friend, Thos Garrett
