John Brown to Amos A. Lawrence, April 16, 1857

Springfield, Mass., April 16, 1857.

Dear Sir, — I expect to leave these parts within four or five days, and would be most grateful for the proceeds of the subscription you so generously started for me, so that I may effect the arrangement before I part with my family. I am sorry to burden you with any of my wants, but I must cast myself on those most kind. Please direct to John (not Captain) Brown, care of Massasoit House, Springfield, Mass. Please say to me what is the fate of the subscription at any rate, and greatly oblige your sincere friend.

Very respectfully yours,
John Brown.
