Brown, John, 1800-1859; Harpers Ferry (W. Va.) -- History -- John Brown's Raid, 1859
Kennedy Farm, in every respect an excellent location for _business_ as
“head-quarters,” was rented at a cheap rate, and men and freight were
sent thither. Capt. Brown returned to ----, and sent freight, while
Kagi was stationed at ----, to correspond with persons elsewhere, and
to receive and despatch freight as it came. Owen, Watson, and Oliver
Brown, took their position at head-quarters, to receive whatever
was sent. These completed the arrangements. The Captain labored and
travelled night and day, sometimes on old Dolly, his brown mule, and
sometimes in the wagon. He would start directly after night, and travel
the fifty miles between the Farm and Chambersburg by daylight next
morning; and he otherwise kept open communication between head-quarters
and the latter place, in order that matters might be arranged in due
season.
John H. Kagi wrote for freight, and the following letter, before
published in relation to it, was written by a co-laborer:
WEST ANDOVER, Ohio, July 30th, 1859.
JOHN HENRIE, Esq.:
DEAR SIR,--I yesterday received yours of the 25th inst., together with
letter of instructions from our mutual friend Isaac, enclosing draft
for $100. Have written you as many as three letters, I think, before
this, and have received all you have sent, probably.
The heavy freight of fifteen boxes I sent off some days ago. The
household stuff, consisting of six boxes and one chest, I have put in
good shape, and shall, I think, be able to get them on their way on
Monday next, and shall myself be on my way northward within a day or
two after.
Enclosed please find list of contents of boxes, which it may be well
to preserve.
The freight having arrived in good condition, John Henrie replies.
