A Letter from John Brown never before in print. Now in the possession of Sullivan Forehand, Esq., of Worcester. SPRINGFIELD, MASS, 16TH APRIL, 1857. Hon. Eli Thayer, My Dear Sir I am advised that one of "U.S. Hounds is on my track"; & I have kept myself hid for a few days to let my track get cold. I have no idea of being taken; _& intend_ (_if_ "God will";) to go back with Irons _in_ rather than _upon_ my hands. Now my Dear Sir let me ask you to have Mr. Allen & Co. send me by Express; one or two sample Navy Sized Revolvers; _as soon as may be_; together with his best cash terms (he warranting them) by the hundred with good moulds, flasks; &c. I wish the sample Pistols sent to John (not Capt) Brown Care of Massasoit House Springfield, Mass. I now enclose Twenty Dollars towards repairs done for me; & Revolvers; the balance _I will send_, as soon as I get the Bill. I have written to have Dr. Howe send you by Express a Rifle and Two Pistols; which _with the guns you gave me; & fixings; together_ with the Rifle given me by _Mr. Allen & Co._ I wish them to pack in a suitable strong Box; _perfectly safe_ directing to _J.B._ care of Orson M. Oviatt Esq. Cleveland Ohio; _as freight_; to keep dry. For Box, trouble; & packing; I will pay when I get bill. I wish the box very plainly marked; & forwarded to Cleveland; as soon as you receive the articles from Dr. Howe. I got a _fine list_ in Boston the other day; & hope Worcester will not be _entirely behind_. I do no mean _you; or Mr. Allen & Co._ Very Respectful
