Dear wife
We need to escape because our master is not giving us enough credit. I hate master he is wipping us for not picking enought cotton. I hate our hut is is too cold at night. I have no food. My back hurts from picking all the cotton. We need to leave and be free and start a new life. We can get married and start a family. We should leave tonight all we have to do is follow the dring gourd. We can get help from the the conductors for the underground railrode. We can meet up under our tree were we first meet by the cotton feild. We can do this we can go be free in the north. We will be tougher forever and ever if we get free. I love you

Dear beloved,
It's really harsh here, we nee to escape. It's horrible here. I want to escape, but with you i need you with me, please come. I thought of an escape to the North and we can start a new and better life there. I am so tired of not being treated well and having to sleep on straw. I am hungry. We don't eat well here.
I know it may be very dangerous to escape. But we have to take a chance or take a risk, believe in our fate and escape, get away from here! We can do this, I think i have a good plan to get out, we can meet at the first underground railroad station and eat and sleep there.
Those there will help us to another station and from there i am very sure we will succeed to our escape.
I want to be safe with you, I don't want to be separated. If we don't go now I highly believe we will never see each other again.
We will make it through.

Dear Wife,
We're being whipped and hurt badly. I hope you're not going through the same. I want to escape with you, I have a plan to escape. At night when the master and his wife goes to sleep, we'll sneak out. I've heard things about an underground railroad. If we follow the drinking gourd north, we can move all night and stop at the houses with lamps in the windows, they'll keep us safe during the day. We deserve better than sleeping in cabins filled with tens of people. If we get to the north we can be free, we can do what we want, we can even get married.
-Sincerely,
Your Husband

Dear Daniel,
Brother, we need to leave, we need to go find freedom. I hate the life we are living in, getting beat and not getting fed right, working all day and all night. My back is killing me from working so hard and then get no credit for it. we can follow the Big Dipper and go north. We could go and be free, and find the rest of the family. We could be happy again and try to make the best of our lives. Brother, we need to find our freedom, we are more important and much more better than what they tell us we are. I'll see you soon brother, i love you.

God has got us through the pain and suffering till today and i believe God will give us help while we go through my plan. we have been treated horribly by our master and our living conditions are unbearable. every day i'm tired and sore and i can't bear to see you beaten for not working hard enough. luckily the masters daughter can see are misery and has provided us with a great escape. she has told us about an abolitionist who will help us get up north to where slaves are free i hope to see you at the back yard goodbye

Dear Wife,
We can't stay here. It is getting very harsh and the Masters are treating us worse. I have a plan to escape, and I want you to come with me. I can't risk getting separated again. If we escape, we can go get legally married. We can start a new family, we can get jobs and get paid money! We can start a new life. Please, honey come with me. Some other men will be escaping with us. I know its dangerous, but what if we make it? We can be free. Please, come with us. We will be at the cotton area and 10 PM. The other men have some food and extra clothes stashed. We can do this.

After we escape, we will get a farm or a factory somewhere and make enough money to survive greatly. We will folow the drinking Gourd all the way to the underground railroad.

I think you should come with me so we can be togeher, legally get married, have a family, and do all the things we are not able to do as slaves. Remember to look for the candles in the windows and follow the drinking gourd. I know this is very risky, but I think if we do what the poeple say and stay as a group, together, I'm 99.9% sure we could make it out alive. I hope you come with me, my love.

Dear Zayn, I am going to escape to the North today at dusk with Vanessa. I want you to join me on this "expedition." I know this is a huge risk but i think it's worth it. We will use the underground railroad tracks, we will find candles in windows and quilts. Once we get away from this cruel place where we get beat and treated unfairly, we will build a house. We will live on a farm like you've always wanted and dreamed of. We can get married, have kids and grow old together. If you do want to join me and Vanessa you will find me by the old hut by "Old Bill's Farm." If i won't find you there five minutes after dusk. I'm going to leave without you. Please, come. I love you dearly.

Dear Beloved,
I don't think it is a good idea to escape tonight. We would be killed if we get caught. It is too risky. Even if we get to the North we wouldn't have any food, and shelter. The Master is cruel but he gives us food, clothes and place to stay. I don't want us to be caught and killed. I also don't know how we would get to the North. I don't even know if the Midnight Railroad is real. I know you want to escape but please reconsider it.

I am escaping to the North tonight.I want you to come with me. I know its a big risk, but if we listen and follow the songs we can find our way to freedom. We can finally marry over there, we can start a family. We can own our own ranch, our own house, and tell our story to the others. I know we will be risking our lives but it will be so worth it. I'm leaving tonight, come to the back gate and we can begin our journey. I know an abolitionist who lives about 15 miles away. We can make it there for the night. Bring spare food, and clothes. We will be walking in the river so that the slave hunters hounds cant follow our scent. It will take about 4 days if we leave tonight,

We may get caught but thats the risk i going to have to get. I want you to follow me to freedom. We can be free and get married together. Im tired of sleeping in a one room hut that has no furniture or beds. The master doesnt give us enough food to eat and our clothes are torn up and raggy. When we are free we can buy our own food and be independent. We dont have to work cruel hours anymore if we decide to escape. It will only be me and you and we will meet up on the river and we can take the underground railroad.

We are getting treated very poorly out here. I need to escape to the North and I want you to come with me. It is terrible out here. Im tired of sleeping on the ground in my cold long cabin. The nights are cold and they daytime is hot. I want to see you and start a normal life, i know we will be happy together. My master is disrespectful and has whipped me nearly 50 times. Tonight meet me by the first house in the underground railroad. Follow the north star and you will find a river, there follow that down until you see a small house. I will be there waiting. They will get us back on our feet then together we will follow another path down to the second house. Eventually we will be free and out of slavery. Be sure no slave hunters catch you, that will ruin the plan.

Dear Zant,
Do you really want to stay, getting beat all the time, with bad living and working conditions? In my case, I’m not staying. It’s just too painful to stay here. The clothes wear out easily, the houses are cramped, and we have to work long hours. With the work, it’s hard to pick the cotton, and to get rid of the seeds. Even though the other crops are easy, the cotton is just... Still, I'm planning to escape by hiding in the morning, and traveling at night. I'm hoping to not get caught if I'm followed. If you want to join me, I'll be north of the farm, past the river.
I hope to see you there.

Life is hard on the plantation. I've heard that there is an underground railroad. I have always wanted to escape and have freedom. Escaping is risky but it's worth having freedom.

If I was a slave I would escape . I would chose to escape because the way that slaves are treated.

If I was a slave I would escape or kill my owner but I wouldn't live under those conditions.

Dear Mrs. Man,
You need to escape as soon as possible because the South’s border with the North is going to be drastically tighter because of all the bounty hunters catching slaves. You should also leave as soon as possible because hard, pay-less labor is terrible and the owner doesn't care for you. I've planned my escape for the beginning of Fall because the harvest season starts around mid-Fall the owner becomes very cranky.

Dear Niall,
We need to leave. After we escape to the North we will not worry about getting whipped for not picking enough cotton. We can "follow the drinking gourd" or take the underground railroad. After we flee we can legally get married! In the North we can have a job. We WILL have FREEDOM! WE deserve this!
With lots of love,
your beloved wife.

Dear Beloved,
We need to leave here as soon as we can, it's way too hard to live out here I'm tired of worrying about being beaten or possibly killed. Please join me, I'm heading to the north where I will hopefully find a better life. We could live up there with no worries, we can take the underground railroad there, nobody will have to know. We can leave tomorrow night. We deserve this, it's not fair to have us work like this and for what? Escaping is one of our only options now. Please choose to come with me, and just remember to follow the drinking gourd,
Love, Sadie.

I am going to escape tonight. Will you come with me. We need to escape because we are treated unfairly, are worked too hard and we never get a break from work. We will escape at night and follow the drinking gourd. Then we can find a station on the underground railroad and we will be safe. Then we will be free and we can get a job and a nice house and have a family. We deserve this opportunity.

Dear Wife,
I am going to escape tonight and I want you to come with me. We do not deserve this life and I couldn't imagine leaving you here. The North is our only hope! We will leave at midnight and start heading North we will be alone. Once we have gotten to the North we can have jobs and have a place to live and get married. We can have the life we deserve if we can make this brave and daring decision.
Yours truly,
Victor

Dear honey,
Tonight I plan on escaping to the north, even though it is dangerous, these living conditions are unbareable for anybody. We deserve better than to work in fields all day and living in little cabins made for only about three people at the most. If you want to face the danger of escaping,it will be everything to me

Dear sister, I'm going to scape tonight and I wanted you to come with me. I'm tired of every single day working for some women that doesn't even pay me for the work I do. I don't want people bussing me aroung every single day. I hate working in the platations piking up cotton and my fingers getting hurt. Probably is dangerous but i'm going to risk my life so I could be free.
Love your sister, Yaquelin

Dear, wife I am going to escape north and follow the drinking gourd and escape north. It is getting more and more harsh over here, my master is whipping me more and more everyday for no reason.I am getting no medical attention and I am sick, but as soon as I get better we will escape. I want you to come with me so we can get married, have a family be free, have more rights than here in the south. We will follow the north star and escape to freedom.

Dear Husband,
I know your plans for tonight. Do not go through with them, I know the working conditions are awful, but the risk is worse. If you get caught escaping, the punishment will be bad. I can't bear the risk you are putting for the family. It is too dangerous! I would rather stay here by master, and be treated poorly then run away and not make it at all. Please stay here.
Love,
Your Wife

Dear Niall,
We have to escape. I can't work in the fields anymore.It feels like my back is going to break if I pick one more ball of cotton. My master beats me if I don't pick enough cotton. They sold my kid sister and I want to try to find her. I heard through a song that Emily escaped to the North. Just follow the drinking gourd and meet me by the market at 3AM because that's the quiet hour. I know it's risky but we have to be free! Take risk with me.
Forever & Always,
Paulina

Dearest Zachary,
Zach, I'm leaving tonight. I can't stand working in that field another minute, it is so painful. Ever since master Johnson beat me my back hasn't been the same. I want you to come with me. We have jumped the broom yet we aren't legally married. Legally married or not our love is stronger than ever. I wouldn't be able to survive if you don't come with me. I know life up there will be much better we can work in the factories. Even though we would get minimum wage it is worth it. We can have more freedom and have an actual family. We can build a home together I'm tired of the sorry excuse of our dirty little cabin house. I want us to live the way we should because we are Americans as well. C'mon Zach, we can get through this because we are strong we've been through so much nothing can stop us. I love you and can't wait to have our free lives together.
Love Lexi.

Dear sister,
Its to much of a risk to escape to the north with your six children they wont be able to resist the traveling there, your baby can start crying and you can get caught. If you go and they catch you they can beat you till your death i don't want that to happen to you. D;

Dear Cesar,
I'm escaping I can no longer take this anymore. It is unfair that they treat us this way. They have no right to beat us or whip us. We do try our best but it is never good enough. There is railroad available for me or us if you would like to come. Just follow the Big dipper and the North Star. You'll be safe.

Honey come on! lets escape to the North please. I am just sick and tired of getting beat for this.I am getting beat cause of not pivking enough cotton. Follow the Dinking Gourd. If you choose to please we would have such a great life. We have to go to Ohio and leave Georgia quick. But there is one risk there is a slight chance that we will get caught. But just imagine what kind of thing we can do .Get better jobs and get married and lots of other things. If you do follow the big dipper and the Drinking Gouard. Bye see you maybe!

Dear Ryan,
I found this man that said that he would help me and any others escape. These crazy white people are treating me like im their property. Im nobodies property. I wonder how they would feel if we owned them instead. If i owned them i would make them live in worse conditions than they make me live in. So if you want to come with me meet me behind the fallen tree after sundown and we will leave. this man lives kind of far maybe half a days walk from here. hopefully i see you there. I already have the supplies in a hollowed out tree meet you there.

Dear, my loving wife
We must leave tonight! I have had it with this ignorant master that has taken all of our rights away. We have been beaten, abused, worked until we were unable to even get out of bed. Speaking about beds the only one we have is a small wooden crate covered with old smelly clothes. My love we have nothing to lose. Plus if we die escaping we die trying and together. We will hide in the cotton fields until sun down and meet under the drinking gourd and follow the special star. I will go tonight and hide food and water along with clothes. When we escape we will go to the market and wait for the conductor and he will take us to Canada and we will start a new family. Your one and only loving husband.

Dear Brother,
I don't know how you are doing in Mississippi, but up here Tennessee it's all going down hill. This morning I was starving because I gave up my breakfast so a child would have something to eat, so I took a small piece of bread from the masters house and he caught me! I managed to run away, but I overheard he was going to cut off my fingers in the morning! I am packing right now and am about to leave. I am going north to freedom. I have no other choice. Please follow the drinking gourd and find my in Chicago. Look for houses with lanterns in the windows. Those are safe houses, you can stay in those until you are well enough to continue again. I will be waiting for you.
Love,
Your Sister
