Boston, May 4, 1857.
Dear Sir, —
Being desirous of aiding Captain Brown In his Kansas enterprise, I am willing
to purchase of you the two hundred revolvers, to be delivered to him as
proposed, and to pay you by my note at four months from date of delivery. This
will give me time to get the money, should I wish to raise the amount by
subscription. Should you accept my proposition, you will please notify Captain
Brown that you are ready to deliver; and your draft, accompanied by his receipt
for the property, will be accepted.
