Mrs. Brownson is happy to hear that they are married and well settled in their own home. It was a relief for her to receive Henry's telegraph despatch the day after his marriage and she is anxious to learn the details of the wedding. She is sorry that none of their family were present at the wedding but is happy that Orestes Brownson did not go because he has been confined to his room for several days since with the gout. It seems somewhat doubtful as to whether he will take the journey to see Henry and Fifine this winter. Accidents have been so frequent lately that one is almost afraid to have his friends travel. There has been much cold weather in Elizabeth and Mrs. Brownson is happy that her son and daughter-in-law are themselves in comfortable quarters. Mrs. Flemming called at the Brownson's to congratulate them on Henry's marriage. Mary is married and gone away, and Annie is seldom home so her family is getting very small. Mrs. Brownson hopes that he and his wife will treat each other with the utmost love and respect and so live as those that must give an account of their time and talents hereafter. This will always be her prayer. Henry is asked to give her love to Mrs. Van Dyke whom she hopes to see sometime. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
