In the neighborhood are some who are angry because their negroes have disappear'.

They accuse Monsieur Dunwodee of being the cause, and say that he is traitor, a turncoat.

This very night a band are said to plan an attack upon the house of monsieur! I have met above there Monsieur Clayton, Monsieur Bill Jones, Monsieur le Docteur Jamieson, and others, who ride to the assistance of Monsieur Dunwodee.

It is this very night, and I--there being no other to come--have come to advise.

Believing that monsieur might desire to carry with him certain friends, I have brought the large carriage.
