Hudson, Ohio, June 18, 1855.
Dear Children,
— I write to say that we are (after so long a time) on our way to North Elba,
with our freight also delivered at the Akron depot; we look for it here
to-night. If this reaches you before we get on, I would like to have some one
with a good team go out to Westport on next Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday
forenoon, to take us out or a load of our stuff. We have some little thought
now of going with our freight by the Welland Canal and by Ogdensburgh to
Westport, in which case we may not get around until after you get this. All are
well here, so far as we know.
Your affectionate
father,
John Brown.
