John McDonogh to Walter Lowrie

Item

Title
John McDonogh to Walter Lowrie
Description
John reacts to David's letter suggesting that he will not go to Liberia.

John asks Lowrie to "stop I pray you, instantly all further expense on his [David's] account (even of one cent)."

John suggests that Lowrie should threaten re-entry into Bondage if (as John requested at the time) David is unaware of his freedom.

John does "not know whether I shall ever write him [David] again."
