Brownson, Sarah H., Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Henry F. Brownson, 1868 January 5
Scope and Contents
Mrs. Brownson received Henry's letter of the 27th, but since Mr. Brownson had previously written him, she supposed it was useless to write then. Henry will probably be married by the time he receives this letter and his mother wishes him and Josephine every blessing, spiritual and temporal. Mrs. Brownson looks upon Josephine as a daughter and hopes that she will always be a mother to Josephine. It will be impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Brownson to be present at the wedding on the following Wednesday, but they will be present in their minds. Mrs. Brownson is happy that Henry has picked such a good person for his wife, one so very amiable and so much good sense-as the Bible expresses it, "in whom the heart of her husband can fully trust." Henry is asked to write, explaining all the particulars of the wedding as well as to give his mother's regards to Mrs. Van Dyke and Miss Whipple. A Happy New Year to Henry and Jospehine. Annie Brownson is still with the Brownson's and they like her very much. Mrs. Brownson will never cease to love and respect her until she has forgotten dear John. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
