CHAPTER XXXV.
BISHOP BROWN--DEATH OF MY DAUGHTER.
I removed with my family to the village of Canandaigua, where I commenced teaching a school for colored children, assisted by my daughter.

The school was sustained partly by the liberality of the citizens of the village, and partly by donations from abroad.

It was continued two years, and the children made rapid progress while they were under our tuition.
Soon after I left Rochester, I visited New York city, and while there, I joined "The African Methodist Episcopal Conference." Bishop Brown, of Philadelphia, presided over the deliberations of that body, and appeared to be a man of deep piety, as well as apt in business, and was a native of one of the Carolinas.

I found a pleasing acquaintance also, with Bishop Walters of Baltimore, Md.

He was small in stature; but a powerful speaker, and discharged every duty with "an eye single to the glory of God." He has now gone to give an account of his stewardship, and I pray that "his mantle may fall" upon one as capable of leading our people as he.
