Frederick Douglass reunites with his brother Perry after 40 years separation
REUNION.--Frederick Douglass, in
a letter to the "American Baptist,"
announces the arrival at Rochester of
his lost brother, Perry, and family.
The letter concludes as follows: "The
meeting with my brother, after nearly
forty years' separation, in an event altogether
too affecting for words to describe.
How unuterably accursed is
slavery, and how unspeakably joyful
are the results of its overthrow! The
search now being made and the happy
reunions now taking place all over the
South, after years of separation and
sorrow, furnish a subject of the deepest
pathes."
