Henry's letter was duly received. He has felt bad about his school difficulties. Before beginning to teach in First Ward Public School he asked Bishop John Hennessy's permission; the bishop told him to go and teach. But since he has been teaching, the bishop prevents his children and all children that attend his school from receiving Sacraments and from attending cathechism classes. The bishop preaches against him, not by name, but by insinuation. Orestes is to open discussion on the public schools before the County Teachers' Association. He would be pleased to have Brownson correct his address. They are expecting their seventh child this week; his children have always been healthy. He hopes Henry will visit them; he hears that Henry is retired from the army and practising law. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
