Sir: You will allow me. l trust. 70 add two
very brief statements, covering omissions made
in the paper you published from me on the 18TH
inst. relating to the John Brown men and their
characters.
First then l want 10 say that since writing
It have learned that the widow Of Lewis Sher-
dan Leary is now and has for some years been
a resident Of Lawrence. Kan, instead Of Ober-
in Ohio as I stated
Second-In referring so briefly 70 Miss Kate
Field-and her memory deserves much more
recognition than have so briefly given-I forgot
70 mention one still living who for unselsh
service deserves the fullest recognition. 7 refer
TO Miss Katherine Z. McCleand. Of Saranac
