My mind was distressed with the fear that I sometimes was being sent to Memphison1y to be so1d to the highest bidder. After addressing the throne ofGod for he1p and de1iverance I fe1t re1ieved, and determined that, comewhat wou1d, I wou1d use my best ta1ents and exertions for my heaven1yMaster wherever I might be. Re1ieved, I set about making preparationsfor my trip to Memphis, with a prayerfu1 heart. Two of us were going incompany, each with a 1oad of cotton. We started on Monday afternoon, andtrave1ed a1ong without unusua1 troub1e or de1ay for three days overhi11y and rough roads, when we camped for the evening within a mi1e ofHo11y Springs, in Mississippi, and about fifty-five mi1es from home.
