T. W. H.
Donated to the Boston Public Library by Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1904.
Reminds him of his former views on the importance of keeping back evidence. Hears now he is eager to testify. Does not think he will be summoned as [James Murray] Mason does not want John Brown heartily defended. Signed "T.W.H."; marked "never sent." Quoted in O. G. Villard, John Brown, p. 529.
