Brownson, Orestes A., Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1871 January 9

 Item
Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Henry's mother and Brownson have concluded that the gas fixtures are not worth the expense of sending. They were damaged in the moving from N. York. The Brownsons have thought it best to send 50 dollars toward meeting the expense of purchasing new ones. Henry is to regard it as a wedding present as yesterday was the anniversary of his marriage. Brownson advises Henry not to use gas for light. Brownson much prefers kerosene. It makes a better and steadier light, is far less hurtful to the eyes and is far cheaper. Henry's mother thinks it costs one third as much as gas and they have never had an accident from it, and like it much better in every ways. Henry's mother had a girl come Saturday. She herself is much better. Anna Brownson has returned to Boston and the Brownsons have fallen into their usual routine. Brownson is not sure when he will visit Henry but will give him notice. The Brownsons send their love to all. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
