AUSTIN STEWARD & BENJ. PAUL.
Lockport, N.Y., 2d Mo., 4th, 1832.
FROM REV. S.E. CORNISH TO A. STEWARD.
DEAR STEWARD:
I have this day received your letter, and God willing, I will be with you in the course of ten or twelve days. Please to keep your people together, until I come. I will see that they be not oppressed by that notorious Israel Lewis. I believe him to be one of the worst men living, whose deeds will yet come to light. Do stay in the Colony and keep all things as they are until I come.
Yours, with high esteem,
SAMUEL E. CORNISH.
P.S.—I am glad that Mrs. Steward is in Rochester; your Colony is by no means suited to her talents and refined mind. She never could be happy there. My love to all the Colonists; I will do every thing for them in my power. S.E.C.
