Attempting to repeat the trespass in presence of the slave, they were told that his 'master forbad it. At this the boys were enraged, and hurled brickbats at the slave until his face and other parts were much injured and wounded but nothing was said or done about it as an injury to the slave.
I do not mean to accuse you for the voyage you have undertaken, however it may distress me. In my calmer moments I feel for the motives of it the warmest approbation.

If he chooses to incur the expense he can send forward a Forbad, or notice in advance, requiring horses to be ready at each station at a specified time; but if he is not there according to notice, he must pay so much per hour for the delay.
