Miss Crandall was found _guilty_ of teaching blacks to read, and
was thereupon bound over, in the sum of $150, to appear at the
Superior Court holden at Brooklyn on the second Tuesday of August
next.
Miss Crandall was sent to the county jail and put into the cell
which had been occupied by Watkins the murderer. At the close of
her letter she says, "If all the prisoners are as happy as I am,
I can assure you they do not bear much mental suffering."
The friends of Miss Crandall were preparing to give the bond
necessary for her release.
