Boston, Mass., Jan. 16, 1853.
Dear Wife, — I have the satisfaction to say that we
have at last got to trial, and I now hope that a little more than another week
will terminate it. Up-to this time our prospects appear favorable. . . . I have no word for the boys, except to
say I am very glad to hear they are doing so well, and that every day increases
my anxiety that they all will decide to be wise and good; and I close by saying
that such is by far my most earnest wish for you all.
Your affectionate
husband,
John Brown.
