Astor House, New York, Jan. 27, 1857.
Captain John Brown.
Dear Sir, — I
am unable yet to give you the schedule of articles which the committee propose
placing in your hands. Please address me at Chicago, stating whether a letter
may he still sent to you at the Massasoit House. It will be necessary for me to
examine shipping-books, etc., in our office at Chicago. I brought your matters
before the notice of the committee yesterday. Resolutions were passed directing
the secretary to instruct Mr. Jones,
of Tabor, to retain the supplies, etc., in his hands until you had made your
selections. Resolutions were also adopted empowering me to ship clothing,
boots, etc., to you at Tabor, which will be done on the opening of navigation.
Very truly,
Horace White.
