Likely copied in Anne Brown Adams' hand. Written to one of John Brown's sons as well, addressed simply to "My Dear Brother." Portion of the letter written to the son states Stevens is awaiting execution, ready to die, and looking forward to the next life. He writes, "Some of us must suffer that the rest may learn." Says he did not see John Brown write anything before his death, but was not with him at the very end. Part written to Anne has the same content as GLC03007.01, except that the end of the letter has been lost. Written from Charlestown Jail.
