Brownson congratulates Henry on his freedom. He has no fears of his steady application to his profession and is sure that by diligence Henry will succeed. Brownson approves of Henry going into partnership with his brother-in-law, to whom Brownson sends his regards. The gas fixtures will be sent as soon as Brownson can get someone to pack them. The boy can hardly go up town to get someone and Henry's mother, though better, cannot go out yet. She has had a severe attack of bronchitis. Brownson cannot walk that far and they have no girls. Brownson does not think he can get them off before Monday or Tuesday and is afraid he will not be able to visit Henry much before spring. He is just recovering from his Boston trip and cannot leave there at present. His love to Fifine and the children. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
