Boston 28 Oct 1847

My Dear Amy

I have finally decided on publishing
the North Star in Rochester and to make
that city my future home.  I am now
buying type and all the little [etcs] of a
printing establishment[.]  I shall probably
be able to issue my first number as early
as the Middle of November, any delay
can only do the enterprise harm.  I have
therefore resolved to commence at
once[.]  As I shall see you soon, I
and having no time ^now^, must delay further
communication till I see you - My best
love to every member of your family.

Yours Sincerely,

F. Douglass
