          June 26^th – 41
“Affectionate Cousin,”     That title is a little
specious I know; you’l [sic] see it quoted;
I received a letter from a lady not long
since, who finished it off with, “from your affection
ate Cousin;” humph! now, aint the use of
such language in a letter from a lady enough
to make it particularly associated in my mind?
perhaps this is one of the many stratagems resorted to
by ^the little^ winged Archer, (–Oh! the pesky feller–) in his attempts
to establish himself at “head quarters” is this so?
you, without doubt, know; although its
quoted I endorse fully all it expresses
I was thinking this morning that i would
write you and request you to do an erra
nd for me; Nat Borden, the former Agent
for the Liberator here has removed from
Town and left the Agency of that paper
in New Bedford with me              Please tell
Mr Garrison to send me their list of Subsc
ribers with the bills and Oblige yours as
above, I expect that i Should have
put off [this] making this request until
next week and then generalize ^&c^ but Mr
Ruggles our friend of the ‘Mirror’ wanted to
Send a line immediately so i’m sociable

and we send together, heres his request * [symbol]

[The rest of the material on page 2, except for a footnote by Sanderson at the bottom of the page, is a note from David Ruggles ro William Cooper Nell, transcribed separately as Letter # 562.]
