Mrs. Elizabeth R. Wheaton.
My Dear Friend: Your postal just to hand, and in reply I am glad
to say my daughter is much better than when you were in Raleigh,
but she is still very far from being well. The general health of
the prisoners is very good at this time. I shall be very glad to
have you at our prison as you pass on your way south. We have all
of the convicts in the prison every Sabbath, and I shall be very
much pleased for you to have service for us. We can arrange for
the service on any Sabbath morning or evening, as may be most
desirable or convenient to you.
I regret that I did not meet you when you were here last. May the
good Lord bless you very abundantly in your Christian work.
Your Friend,
W. J. HICKS, Architect and Warden.

Dear Madam: I have just received yours of the 17th inst., and in
reply will say that you have always been welcome to visit the
jail and enjoy every privilege granted to others of your sex.
Mr. G.'s mother has not been allowed to enter his cell for some
time past. The utmost freedom consistent with our rules of order
is given to all those employed in the good work in which you are
so earnestly engaged. Should you find it convenient to visit the
institution again prior to leaving our State, we will be pleased
to admit you, and should you prevail on the sheriff to allow the
special favor you seek, we will gladly comply with the order.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN ROGERS, Chief Jailer.
