Jeremiah Brown* to John Brown, November 9, 1859

Cleveland, Nov. 9.

Dear Brother John: I will not attempt to express my feelings of sympathy for you. You know my heart. Can I do any thing for you in regard to your business, or for your family? . . . Jason wants to go and sue you, but cannot, He says, "Tell father I wish I could help him." My family wish to be remembered to you. You will live in our hearts, though dead in body.

Yours affectionately,
JEREMIAH BROWN.
