United States Hotel, Boston, May 13, 1859.
Dear Wife And
Children, All, — I wrote you from Troy last week, saying I had sent on
the balance of articles I intended to buy, and that it might be well to call on
James A. Allen, Westport, for them soon. I would now say, if you are not in a
strait for them it may be as well to defer sending for a little, as I expect
soon to be at home again, and may in that case be able to save considerable
expense. They are all directed to John Brown at Westport. I feel now very
confident of ultimate success, but have to be patient, and I have the ague to
hinder me some lately. May God be the portion of you all!
Your affectionate
husband and father,
John Brown.
