Answer 1

Nov. 25, 1859
Dear Friend: Although the hands of Slavery throw a barrier between you and me, and it may not be my privilege to see you in the prison house, Virginia has no bolts or bars through which I dread to send you my sympathy...I thank you that you have been brave enough to reach out your hands to the crushed and blighted of my race. You have rocked the bloody Bastille; and I hope from your sad fate great good may arise to the cause of freedom...

Answer 5

Querido amigo: Aunque las manos de la Esclavitud arrojan una barrera entre tú y yo, y puede que no sea un privilegio de verte en la cárcel, Virginia no tiene tornillos o barras a través del cual me puedo enviarle mi simpatía ... Yo agradezco que has sido lo suficientemente valiente como para pedir ayuda a la aplastada y arruinada de mi raza. Tú has sacudido a la sangrienta Bastilla; y espero de tu triste destino que un gran bien puede surgir a la causa de la libertad ...

Answer 6

Creo que sí, que ella está triste y conformándose de su triste destino.
Tú tienes la idea correcta.
