Correspondence between Mrs. Child, John Brown, and Governor Wise and Mrs. Mason of Virginia.
To Governor Henry A. Wise. Wayland, Mass., October 26, 1859.
Governor Wise,--I have heard that you were a man of chivalrous sentiments, and I know you were opposed to the iniquitous attempt to force upon Kansas a Constitution abhorrent to the moral sense of her people.
Relying upon these indications of honor and justice in your character, I venture to ask a favor of you. Inclosed is a letter to Captain John Brown. Will you have the kindness, after reading it yourself, to transmit it to the prisoner?

Do you read your Bible, Mrs. Child?
If you do, read there, Woe unto you, hypocrites, and take to yourself with twofold damnation that terrible sentence; for, rest assured, in the day of judgment it shall be more tolerable for those thus scathed by the awful denunciation of the Son of God, than for you. You would soothe with sisterly and motherly care the hoary-headed murderer of Harper's Ferry!
A man whose aim and int of them was his only hope of life then, or of clemency afterward?
Of course he did. The United States troops could not have prevented him from being torn limb from limb.
I will add, in conclusion, no Southerner ought, after your letter to Governor Wise and to Brown, to read a line of your composition, or to touch a magazine which bears your name in its lists of contributors; and in this we hope for the sympathy at least of those at the North who deserve the name of woman.
M. J. C. Mason.
