Jarm had now arrived at that period when the onlypersonal freedom allowed a slave is to debase hisspirit by demoralizing instincts. Bereft of all othergratifications, he would doubtless have plunged tothe bottom of the abyss, but for causes to bedeveloped. For the last eight years he had not listenedto words of kindness, friendship or compassionfrom a white man or woman, and was forced toregard them as enemies. His hopes had been crushedin every direction. On the verge of manhood hestood on the brink of moral desolation. But anevent occurred at this time, which set him right,and rescued him from danger.
You sold my brother and sister, ABE and ANN, and 12 acres of land, you say, because I run away. Now you have the unutterable meanness to ask me to return and be your miserable chattel, or in lieu thereof send you $1,000 to enable you to redeem the land, but not to redeem my poor brother and sister! If I were to send you money it would be to get my brother and sister, and not that you should get land. You say you are a cripple, and doubtless you say it to stir my pity, for you know I was susceptible in that direction. I do pity you from the bottom of my heart. Nevertheless I am indignant beyond the power of words to express, that you should be so sunken and cruel as to tear the hearts I love so much all in pieces; that you should be willing to impale and crucify us out of all compassion for your poor foot or leg. Wretched woman! Be it known to you that I value my freedom, to say nothing of my mother, brothers and sisters, more than your whole body; more, indeed, than my own life; more than all the lives of all the slaveholders and tyrants under Heaven.
