against the white man2
boy of eagleheight school2
my work in connection2
over and over again2
peeping over the shoulders2
man who was sent2
not know how many2
since that time i2
i have been asked2
as well as my2
that i think has2
much to do with2
i might be able2
my share of the2

especially those of us2
difficult to get the2
his dignity and his2
the poor little waif2
time one of the2
course the coloured people2
i knew him as2

on the road to2
the house is on2
because of his very2
above the cost of2
that they were going2

but in our case2
the board of overseers2
drawn myself up by2
actual life of the2
it was not my2
president and his cabinet2
i could not have2
the students and teachers2
long before i had2
that the people had2
the large number of2

a southern white man2
urchin has robbed me2
when i was just2
that we were worthy2
of one of his2

the coloured men who2
in all my efforts2
with them in their2

degree from the oldest2
there was a feeling2
to go to basle2
the phelps hall bible2
work at my trade2
the call of the2

one plantation to another2
it is seldom that2
the officials of the2
who wanted to learn2

soon after the opening2
that the people in2
so unfortunate as to2
of those who were2

the kindest and most2
there were a few2
at one time i2

as it is the2
that i have been2
which looked as if2

i recall that on2
a rare opportunity for2
part of the money2
over me while i2
because i know that2
more than to live2

of the death of2
time that i had2
the negro in the2
grow to the point2
for i thought it2
the expenses of the2
rector of trinity church2
i have sometimes thought2
for some one to2
of the slaves was2
proper thing for them2

which she had been2
it was the symbol2
it is fitting that2
when she heard my2
the medium of the2
have said that i2
i believe it is2
pain in her heart2
one with me in2
and in some cases2
months before he died2
be her fault if2
by the middle of2
men and women were2
in no better way2
many parts of the2
me that this was2
felt sure it would2
under the influence of2

for a short time2
the purpose of securing2
am convinced that the2
we finds out which2

the idea that i2
that the freedom in2
