The storage, etc., here, will cost a trifle, but the $300 will be promptly paid for the whole service. I think Mr. Wright's daughter, Hannah, has also seen you. I am also known to Prof. C.D. Cleveland, of your city. If you answer this promptly, you will soon hear from Wm. Penn himself. Very truly yours, J. BIGELOW. LETTER FROM HAM & EGGS, SLAVE (U.G.R.R. AG'T).
