RANDOLPH, PENN., Oct.
26, 1833.
DEAR BROTHER, — I arrived at home without any mishap on
Saturday of the week I left you, and found all well. I had received newspapers
from Thibodeauxville during my absence, similar to those sent to father, but no
letters respecting the death of our brother. I believe I was to write father as
soon as I returned, but I have nothing further to write, and you can show him
this. I will immediately let him know what answer I get to the letter I shall
send to the South by this mail, respecting our dear brother. I enclose fifteen
dollars, and wish you to let me know that you receive it. Destroy my note, and
accept my thanks. If you afford my colt plenty of good pasture, hay, and salt,
it is all I wish, unless he should fall away badly or be sick. Your's bore his
journey well. Please tell Milton Lusk that I wish to have him pay over the
money I left with him to Julian, without delay.
Affectionately yours,
JOHN BROWN.
P. S. I want to be informed of any news respecting Salmon as
soon as any of you get any.
