Kate Newell Doggett to Frederick Douglass, January 18, 1861

Chicago 18 Jan.

316 Mich. Av.

My dear Mr. Douglass,

Of course you know of this testimonial to the memory of John Brown from other sources but I thought you might like to have this from my last number of Les Etats-Unis d'Europe, published in Geneva, a paper not permitted to cross the frontier of France, yet no line in its columns ever asks for anything that would not make all men better and happier.

I send to Rochester though we are hoping for a visit from you soon here. Yours truly
