Eagleswood, Perth
Amboy, N. J., Nov. 30th, '59.
To the family of Mr. John Brown.
Dear Friends:
I would gladly say some words of my own to comfort you, and
carry you through this great trial and affliction, but I have them not. May the
God of your dear father sustain you as He has him.
I heard also from your mother yesterday. Her note came part
way with your father's letter. She is with most lovely and excellent friends,
who will do all in their power to sustain her. I like better to have Mrs. Brown
with Mrs. Lucretia Mott than in any other place, except in that prison. I
should like better to have her there in that now sacred place which is now
“‘In the very verge
of heaven.’”
