I was almost caught...

...today when I went to Mr. Sands to ged him to free my children, our children. I had heard news that he was to be elected to Congress and that he would be leaving to live in Washington right away. I compromised my garret hiding place by going to him to ask him for the freedom of his children. Remarkable men, asking then to remember their children and to free them. He agreed to do everything that he could.

I am most thankful to him for that, and hope that all of this has not been in vain.
