Mississippi Federal Writers Slave Autobiographies Uncle Hamp Kennedy, a farmer, 78 years old, weighs about 135 pounds, and is about 5 feet 9 inches high.

The meeting was entirely accidental; but it was a sad occurrence for poor Alfrado, as her own sequel tells. Suffice it to say, an acquaintance and attachment was formed, which, in due time, resulted in marriage. In a few days she left W , and ALL her home comforts, and took up her abode in New Hamp- shire.
"I can't get a sound out of them, and the keyhole is stuffed," he said. "We'll break in the door," said the leader of the evil-doers. It took but a minute to execute this threat, for the door was thin and frail. Both gave a hasty look around. "Gone!"
