Springfield, Mass., April 25, 1857.
H. N. Rust, Esq.
My Dear Sir, —
I did not see you the other morning before I left, as I expected. Please hand
line and draft to Mr. Blair at once. The sabre you got is the identical one
taken from Lieutenant Brocket at Black Jack surrender. I would on no account
have you buy it of me, as you really have done, but that I am literally driven
to beg, — which is very humiliating.
Very respectfully
your friend,
John Brown.
