John Brown, December 21, 1853

John Brown, Abolitionist. Akron, Ohio, Dec. 21, 1853, to Ralph McIntosh, Vernon, New York. Brown has had to "...make a considerable search amongst the rubbish & receipt of our Boston case...” is glad to learn "...that our Warren suit is at all progressive." Brown really hopes they may not lose that case "…for since the dastardly...surrender made of me at Boston I have felt like repudiating the world; & letting no one hear further from me.”
