Boston, Sept. 22, 1856.
No. 3 Winter Street.
John Brown, Esq.
Dear Sir, —
The Messrs. Chapin, who keep the Massasoit House in Springfield, in this State,
wish to give you fifty or one hundred dollars, as a testimonial of their
admiration of your brave conduct during the war. Will you write to them,
stating how they can send you the money? Call upon Mr. S. N. Simpson, of Lawrence.
He will tell you who I am.
Yours truly,
Charles H. Branscomb.
