The history of this man's recovery of freedom was the subject of much interest at the time. An engraving was made of his head from a painting in Water Colours by me./H. Inman/N. York.

His phraseology is odd, his spelling and grammar atrocious, and his writing unformed and inferior./ [Abbott then supplies a transcript, where possible:] The phrases, so far as I can make them out read: His name is Abd al-Rahman (ibn) Ibrahim. Allah bless Mohammed, his family, and his companions. The learned sheikh said:- "To Mecca and Medina O Allah and by Allah." Adam (?) went to Mecca...He said...Saturday...In the name of Allah the merciful the compassionate. Praise be to Allah. His name is Abd al-Rahman and...and the man...', the whole within an archive folder, (collection).

The Reverend Henry Clay Trumbull (1830-1903) had told Twain all about it and showed him the portrait, presumably then in his possession, and Pleadwell corresponded with acquaintances of Trumbull's daughters in the dashed hope of locating the original painting.
