Letter from Elizabeth L. Comstock to unidentified recipient
Description:
Her two prisoners are freed, praying for the release of the other 13 "who still remain in the convict cells in Baltimore penitentiary upon charges of harboring fugitive slaves or aiding them in their escape from slavery. One a poor grey headed negro, who helped his wife to get away, another who aided his children..." Opposition to war: "While we feel that was with all its horrors is anti-Christian, we must not be found condemning all who are engaged in it."
