Ottumwa, Oct 7, 1858.
Mr. John T. Cox.
Sir, — You are
hereby notified that I hold claims against the National Kansas Committee which
are good against them and all persons whatever: and that I have authority from
said committee to take possession, as their agent, of any supplies belonging to
said committee, wherever found. You will therefore retain in your hands all
moneys, notes, or accounts you may now have in your custody, by direction of
said committee or any of its agents, and hold them subject to my call or order,
as I shall hold you responsible for them to me, as agent of said committee.
John Brown.
Agent National
Kansas Committee.
