Hartford, Conn., March 6, 1857.
Dear Wife, — I
enclose with this a letter from Owen, written me from Albany. He appeared to be
very much depressed before he left me; but there was no possible
misunderstanding between us that I knew of. I did not pay Samuel Thompson all
that I ought to have given him for carrying us out, and wish you would make it
up to him, if you can well, out of what I have sent you. If you get hay of him,
I will send or, fetch the money soon to pay for it. I shall send you some
newspapers soon to let you see what different stories are told of me. None of
them tell things as I tell them. Write me, care of the Massasoit House,
Springfield, Mass.
Your affectionate
husband,
John Brown.
