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.
