To My Old Master

In connection with Frederick Douglass' autobiography and Jim's experiences in the novel Huck Finn, here is a letter written by a freed slave to his former master, at his request that he come back to work on his farm. Letter to My Old Master As you read the letter, look for the following: 1)What humorous sarcasm does Jourdon use toward his former master? 2)What is the deal Jourdon would be willing to make with his former master should he come back to work for him? 3)Why do you think the newspapers of this time period would want to insist to their readers that Jourdon dictated this letter?
