CHARLESTOWN PRISON,
JEFFERSON CO., VA., Dec. 1, 1859.
JAMES FORMAN, ESQ.My dear Friend: I
have only time to say I got your kind letter of the 26th Nov. this evening. Am
very grateful for all the good feeling expressed by yourself and wife. May God
abundantly bless and save you all. I am very cheerful, in hopes of entering on
a better state of existence, in a few hours, through infinite grace in
"Christ Jesus, my Lord." Remember the "poor that cry," and
"them that are in bonds as bound with them."
Your friend as ever,
JOHN BROWN.
