Mrs. Brownson acknowledges Henry's letter of Nov. 10, and would have answered if Brownson had not sent Henry a draft for $75 upon reading it. Brownson wrote on the 12th and would like to know if Henry has received the draft. Saily Brownson must be pretty. Her hair is so fine and dark. Mrs. Brownson is sorry she suffers from the cholic, but knows she will outgrow it and abundantly repay Henry for his care. Mrs. Brownson is happy to learn from Henry's letter of Nov. 13 that Fifine is pretty well. The Brownson have been expecting to see Mr. Van Dyke but they have not been here yet. Mrs. Brownson will take it very kind of them if they visit them. Henry's father hesitates about going to Boston to lecture on Dec. 8. He has written that he intended to go, but a week ago he had an attack of the gout in his foot and although it is much better he is afraid to go. Dr. Henry S. Hewit visited the Brownsons Thursday Nov. 17. and thought Brownson could go without any risk. Brownson has been writing quite steadily for a few weeks—an article on Beecher in the Catholic World caused him considerable labour. Mrs. Brownson finds the little boy they have taken very good for errands but he needs looking after. He is a very capable child but very unlike their conscientious little George who had he lived would be 30 years old. Orestes and his family were well the last time the Brownsons heard from them. Mr. and Mrs. Brownson send their love to Henry and Fifine. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
