Scope and Contents
Brownson answered Henry's letter immediately in the hope that it may reach him before he leaves. Both Henry's parents are very disappointed that they will not see their son and his wife this spring. Henry is being sent to Atlanta, a healthy and pleasant city according to him. The coast of Georgia is unhealthy but the interior, is healthier than Henry's native state. The nights are cold there due to the cool winds from the mountains. Brownson is still suffering from the gout and while not well, is somewhat better. Father Isaac T. Hecker who cannot do without Brownson has made up and the latter has several articles in the May number. The Sadliers are in good humor about the Tablet and James is going to try and make the Catholics buy Brownson a house. Annie Brownson leaves today and is delighted with her winter visit. Mrs. Brownson's health is pretty good. Brownson has walked to church and things are going very well in general. He asks to be remembered to Henry's wife. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
