One of these, originally instituted by Anthony Benezet, is now in operation in the city of Philadelphia, and has been continued under the care of one of the monthly meetings of Friends of that city, and supported by funds derived from voluntary contributions of the members, and from legacies and bequests, yielding an income of about $1000 per annum.
The city had never seen so great a fu-ner-al. In the company was an A-mer-i-can general. He said, "I would rather be An-tho-ny Benezet in that coffin than General Wash-ing-ton in all his glory." Putnam was a brave soldier. He fought many battles against the Indians. After that he became a general in the Revolution. But this is a story of his battle with a wolf.
This has been constantly and solemnly asserted by the pious Benezet , whom we have mentioned before, as having devoted a considerable part of his time to their instruction.
"Bid my lady keep a good heart and say that I will be with her again ere long," said Hugh as they descended the stairs in haste. Following the guidance of Basil, they turned first this way and then that, till soon in the gathering darkness they knew not where they were. "What was the name of the street in which Sir Andrew had his lodging?" asked Hugh, halting. "Rue St. Benezet," answered Basil.
The former of these, having taken an active part in several of the yearly meetings of his own society relative to the oppressed Africans, and having been in habits of intimacy and friendship with John Woolman and Anthony Benezet, with the result of whose labours he was acquainted, may be supposed to have become qualified to take a leading station in the promotion of their cause.

To show this, I must first remind the reader, that Anthony Benezet, as soon as he heard of the result of the case of Somerset, opened a correspondence with Granville Sharp, which was kept up to the encouragement of both. In the year 1774, when he learned that William Dillwyn was going to England, he gave him letters to that gentleman.
This committee, it may he remembered, consisted of six persons, of whom one was William Dillwyn. That William Dillwyn became fitted for the station, which he was afterwards to take, will be seen shortly. He was born in America, and was a pupil of the venerable Benezet, who took pains very early to interest his feelings on this great subject.
It is befitting that the city of Benezet and of Franklin should be the first to open an asylum where the hunted exiles may find a home. God grant that your Pennsylvania Hall may be free, indeed!"
