with the Laws, in such cases, made and provided, in slave-holding States. We have been informed, that the Superior Executive Power of the State of Georgia, have made a demand on your Highness [underlined] for the Surrender of the Body of Capt. Philbrook.
Your Excellency, we presume, will not stoop to so inhumane and revolting an act. Still, we feel a deep anxiety lest in an evil hour, he may by some unfair means, be arrested and brought to that punishment, which he does not deserve. Your Honour will find included in this Letter, a recommendation signed by a large number of Our Most respectable Citizens, which we humbly pray your Honour to make such use of, as will best serve the cause of bl[?]ding humanity, in Philbrook's case. And as in duty Bound we will ever pray.
Islesboro, March 7th 1838
