Osawatomie, Kansas, Oct. 11, 1858.
Dear Wife And
Children, All, — I wrote you sometime since, enclosing G. Smith's check
for fifty dollars, payable to order of Watson. Since then 1 have no word from
any of you, but am in hopes of getting something to-morrow. I have been very
feeble ever since, but have improved a good deal now for about one week. I can
now see no good reason why I should not be located nearer home, as soon as I
can collect the means for defraying expenses. I still intend sending you some
further help as soon as I can. Will write you how to direct to me hereafter. No
more now.
Your affectionate
husband and father.
[JOHN BROWN.]
