A Request for Trust and Assistance
Solomon Northup The proceeds of my fiddling performances. A few picayunes, but all I have in the world. I promise them to you if you will do me the favor I require. But I beg you not to expose me if you cannot grant the request.
[Solomon awakens Armsby in the middle of the night. He offers him a handful of coins]
Armsby What do you ask?
Solomon Northup First, your word, sir.
Armsby On my honor.
Solomon Northup It is a simple enough request. I ask only that you deposit a letter in the Marksville post office. And that you keep the action an inviolable secret forever. The details of the letter are of no consequence. Even at that, there would be an imposition of much pain and suffering were it known I was the author. A patron is what I require, sir.
Armsby Where is the letter now?
Solomon Northup It is not yet written. I will have it in a day. Two at most, my skill with composition as poor as it is.
Armsby I will do it. And will accept whatever payment is offered.
