Dear Friend, —
I have only time to give you the names of those that I know were killed of my
company at Harper's Ferry, or that are said to have been killed; namely, two
Thompsons, two Browns, J. Anderson, J. H. Kagi, Stewart Taylor, A. Hazlett, W.
H. Leman, and three colored men. Would most gladly give you further information
had I the time and ability.
Your friend,
John Brown.
