Description

These transcribed letters were written by John Brown of Osawatomie to his wife and family, from 1829-1859. Annotations by May are on pages 1, 15, and 18. The first annotation relates to the spelling in the letters, the second to Kansas border troubles, and the third to a company of slaves that Brown helped to escape from Missouri to Canada. The letters are devoted almost entirely to personal affairs and agricultural conditions.
