Worcester, March 19, 1857.
Friend Brown, —
I have seen some of our friends to-day, and they say you had better come here
next Monday. There is to be an antislavery meeting in the evening, and I think
it will be a very good time for you to present your cause, — which is the
Free-State cause of Kansas, which is the cause of mankind. I shall expect you
to do me the favor of stopping at my house.
Truly yours,
Eli Thayer.
