CHARLESTOWN, JEFFERSON
CO., VA., Nov. 29, 1859.
S. E. SEWALL, ESQ.
My dear Sir: Your
most kind letter of the 24th inst. is received. It does, indeed, give me
"pleasure," and the greatest encouragement to know of any efforts
that have been made in behalf of my poor and deeply afflicted family. It takes
from my mind the greatest cause of sadness I have experienced during my
imprisonment here. I feel quite cheerful, and ready to die. I can only say, for
want of time, may the God of the oppressed and the poor, in great mercy,
remember all those to whom we are so deeply indebted.
Your friend,
JOHN BROWN.
