Mrs. Brownson is not surprised that Henry is uneasy about his parents if he has not heard from them since he has been in Chicago. Both his mother and father have written to him, however, since he arrived there, and have also received mail from him. All are well at the Brownson home and Henry's father has gone to New York. He went to see Mr. Sadlier about publishing a book and expects to return on Monday. He means to have Dennis Sadlier pay him more for his articles in The Tablet. Orestes A. Brownson thought well of Henry's partnership with Mr. Bellows but he must look well into it. Chicago is better for business, but Detroit has the better society and he wishes to have Henry near Fifine's friends. His right hand has been somewhat swollen of late but he promises to write Henry when it is better. Mrs. Brownson sends her love to Fifine and hopes that both she and the baby are well. Mrs. Brownson is glad of his visit to Aunt Betsy's and wishes to know how he liked her and Mr. Alexander. Orestes Brownson Jr. wrote his parents informing them that they are all pretty well. Ellen Louisa is just 4 months younger than Philip James. Orestes still continues to have trouble respecting Catholic schools and Brownson has written him two long letters on the subject. Mrs. Brownson asks Henry to write to him and to pray that he may live and die an obedient child of the Church. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
