I got your letter and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again in Tennessee, promising to do better for me than anybody else can.
Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again and see Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this.
I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here in Ohio. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with food and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy, the folks call her Mrs. Anderson; and the children—Milly, Jane, and Grundy—go to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. We are kindly treated.
Now, if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again. We have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct(扣除)what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future.
In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. I would rather stay here and starve—and die, if it should come to that—than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young Masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education and have them form virtuous habits.
Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

Studying Tips and Techniques
If you often find yourself struggling with your studies, here are some useful tips and techniques that can help you out…
1.____________ It is a common misconception that self-study can begin only after a particular topic or chapter is taught in class. You should start preparing for the class in advance. After attending classes, it is of great importance that you have time to review the notes that you have taken during the class as well as try and read more about the subject on your own. Be it (无论是)reference books, or e-books, try and find more information about your subject so that you have a comprehensive(全面的)view of the topics. Often while reading and self-studying, it happens that you come across doubts and questions that did not occur to you in the classroom. Try and answer these questions yourself with the help of books or the internet. However in case you fail to answer, write down these questions so that you remember to clarify the questions in your next class.
2.____________ Involve yourself in group discussions about the subjects that you are studying. Group discussions can be a great way to broaden your viewpoint over important issues since group discussions give every group member a chance to voice their understanding, which might not necessarily be alike. Group discussions are thus a healthy and a rather informal way of exchanging information and discussing issues. Many teachers encourage the group discussion technique in their classroom as well.
3.____________ No matter how much people disapprove of the process and the timetables, it is a known fact that having a clear and detailed project makes it easier for a person to reach a goal. According to your convenience, map out your daily / weekly/ monthly study. It is always better to have a weekly or a daily arrangement, so that unexpected changes in class schedules or any other changes can be taken into consideration accordingly.
4.___________ Yes, there exist some species of students who burn the midnight oil. The studying process should be such that it leaves enough room for a student to join in entertainment activities and relaxation. Always chalk out a schedule that will not influence your sleep, your health, your sports / entertainment activities and other routine tasks. Also studying a single subject at a stretch (like an entire week or so), can get boring, for this reason plan a schedule that helps you switch from one subject to another in enough time.
5._________ Normally students get too caught up with grades, the percentage and the entire marking system. Always remember that if you study with the aim of acquiring knowledge, the grades will be brighter. However, if you just aim for high grades, there is a chance you might get the grades, but you will miss out on acquiring comprehensive knowledge on a particular subject. Always study with the right point of view, and you will never have to worry about your grades. Knowledge is way beyond grades.
