During his journey Palfrey stopped off to see two abolitionists.
In both cases he desired information about placing the freedmen in homes once they arrived in the North.
In New York, Lydia Maria Child welcomed him enthusiastically: `` I have lately heard of you from the Legislature of Louisiana, and felt joy at your public recognition of the brotherhood of man ''.
Mrs. Child, who had once apologized for sending editor Palfrey a book on slavery, now confided that she had helped one of Henry Palfrey's slaves escape to Canada some years before, but asked him not to advertise the fact in Louisiana.
She agreed to take charge of five or six of the Negroes should Palfrey decide to send them north immediately.
At Lexington, Kentucky, Palfrey consulted with Cassius M. Clay on the same subject, but with no apparent result.
