Lord Shaftsbury was there; he came and spoke to us after the concert. Speaking of Miss Greenfield, he said, "I consider the use of these halls for the encouragement of an outcast race, a consecration. This is the true use of wealth and splendour when they are employed to raise up and encourage the despised and forgotten." When Mrs. Stowe's account of the concert was read to Miss Greenfield, she remarked--"I _should_ have looked well to the lady--for the black moire antique silk in which I was clad was the gift of Mrs. Stowe, and made under her own direction. It cost her seventy-five dollars." Mrs. Stowe's sympathy seemed ever to have followed her with a watchful care. We find this interesting letter among her papers of this date. MY DEAR MISS GREENFIELD:--I am sorry I cannot see you before I leave town, but I give you in parting my best wishes. Enclosed you will find the bill for your dress and other things _receipted_--the receipt you had better _keep_, lest by some mistake you be called upon to pay the bill bye and bye--such mistakes sometimes happen. And now, my dear friend, I hope that you will endeavour always, first of all things, to _do what is right_. Trust in your heavenly Father and Divine Saviour; read the Bible daily, and strive to know his will. Do not spend your Sundays in idleness or folly, but go regularly to church, and try to profit by what you hear. I trust that you will read in this little book the text for each day--and I pray God to bless you. There are a great many temptations in a life like yours, but if you pray to God, he will be your Father and help you always to do right and make your way plain before you. Let me beg of you to be careful as to your dress. Do not dress low in the neck--do not try for showy colours--but keep a _plain modest_ respectable style. It was for this purpose that I furnished you with a suit. These things are very important for one in your position, and if rightly managed will secure for you respect. In your manners be just as simple as you always have been.--Don't put on anything--don't try to pass for anything but what you really are, and you will keep the friends that you have made. I hope to hear good accounts of you when I return. Your true and affectionate friend, (Signed) H. B. Stowe. If you wish to write to me, carry the letter to Samson Lowe, 47 Ludgate Hill, and he will send it to me. I shall be glad to hear from you. H. B. S.
