Letter, Your Affectionate Son & brother [John Brown, Jr.?] to Dear Father [John Brown] & Brother Author: Brown, Jr., John Date: September 8, 1856 Still in the custody of territorial officials, John Brown, Jr., wrote to express his remorse upon learning of the death of his brother Frederick--at least he was relieved to learn that his father and Jason were safe, as early reports had them dead or missing. "Poor Frederick has perished in a good cause!" wrote John, Jr., "the success of which cause I trust will yet bring joy to millions." He then wrote of his forthcoming trial and possible plan to "escape in case it should appear best."
