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.
