Tabor, Fremont County, Iowa, Sept. 30, 1857.
General James H. Lane.
My Dear Sir, —
Your favor from Falls City by Mr. Jamison is just received; also fifty dollars
sent by him, which I also return by same hand, as I find it will be next to
impossible in my poor state of health to go through on such very short
notice, four days only remaining to get ready, load up, and go through. I
think, considering all the uncertainties of the case, want of teams, etc., that
I should do wrong to set out. I am disappointed in the extreme.
Very respectfully
your friend,
John Brown.
