Handwritten letter from Douglass to Hannah Fuller dated Oct 5, 1855

Transcription

My dear Friend Hannah Fuller,

I shall leave Rochester on Monday the 15th at 8 A.M. I shall take my daughter Rosetta with me. It will be a treat for her and company for you. You should be in Rochester on Sunday to be ready to start on Monday in good time--Come and spend the Sunday quietly at our house. I have not yet quite recovered from my ague and fever attack though my health is improving—My best regards to your Dear Mother.

--Yours with respect and high esteem  F. Douglass,

Rochester Oct. 5, 1855
