John Henry Kagi to John Brown, July 18, 1859

[CHAMBERSBURG, PA.], July 18.

I wrote to Tidd one week ago to-day, several days before receiving your letter directing mo to do so, and enclosing letter to H. Lindsley, which I forwarded by first mail. None of your things have yet arrived. The railroad from Harrisburg here does no freight business itself, that all being done by a number of forwarding houses, which run private freight cars. I have requested each of these (there are six or eight of them) to give me notice of the arrival of anything for you.
