18 March 1861
My Dear Master's Lady,
I write to you once again. This time it is from my more permanent home in Massachusetts. I hope all finds you well in this time of impending crisis (7, -). In the past few years, things have been changing and I can smell war times are coming. Abraham Lincoln will soon take his place in the white house and I know that Jefferson Davis is the leader of you southerners now (3, xiv). Everywhere you go you can feel the tensity. Nobody likes nobody now. This election has brought about too much separatism, but I am glad that I am on the right side.

(7, 342) America needs to see slavery as it truly is. I have heard the argument that it is better for a slave to stay as such, for if he were to be freed, he might not make it on his own. I would starve to death as a poor man liberated rather than live in the fanciest of plantations as a slave.

I foresee a tremendous change in our future. Even now so, life will never be the same as we know it. Lincoln has some troops down at Fort Sumter (3, xiii). I don't know what their reasoning is for being there but I am sure that it can't be any good.
I pray you and the master are...
