Boston, May 9, 1859.
My Dear Sir, —
Captain Brown (old J. B.) is here. If any one desires to get the thirty-two
hundred and fifty dollars' reward offered for his apprehension by the governor
of Missouri and the President of the United States, he has only to go to the
hotel in Beach Street, and try to take the old fellow.
He is a character, I assure you; and if you are disposed to
have a conversation with him, he will call at your house, or your office, as
you may appoint. He knows more about the question of practical emancipation
than any one whom I have seen.
Faithfully yours,
S. G. Howe.
