Mr. Friedman took up his pen, and wrote a receipt in full, together with a Certificate of Freedom, as fol- lows : 232 THE KIDNAPPED AND THE RANSOMED. Keceived, Tuscumbia, January 26th, 1849, of my boy Peter, three hundred dollars . $300 00 Jos. Friedman. Eecd. Sept. 1st, 1849, of my boy Peter, $88 00 Eighty-eight dollars and twelve dollars 12 00 100 00 Eecd. March 29th, 1850, of Peter, sixty dollars, 60 00 Jos. Friedman, $160 00 Keceived, April 16th, 1850, forty dollars, 40 00 $500 00 For, and ...in consideration of the above five hundred dollars, I have this 16th day of April, 1850, given Peter a Bill of Sale, and given him his freedom. Joseph Friedman. Tuscumbia, Ala. , April 16th, 1850. Precious was this paper in the eyes of the self-ran- somed slave, and yet he felt not all secure. The habit of doubting that truthfulness of which he had so seldom seen an illustration, could not at once be overcome. He had five dollars left, with which he bought a trunk of Mr. Friedman ; and then in one old silver dollar, which he had kept for many years, consisted all his store.
