Scope and Contents

Mrs. Brownson thanks Henry for his letter of the 6th. She is sorry about Sally Brownson's cholic. Brownson has had a severe attack of the gout brought on by writing too much—for besides the Catholic World and the Tablet he has written three articles for the "Ave Maria". He has a new suit ready for his visit to Detroit, but will have to postpone it until he catches up with work neglected because of the gout. Bishop Bayley James R. Bayley gave a lecture yesterday and made the Brownsons a short visit. Mrs. Brownson is much pleased with the Bishop. Father Michael E. Kane and Mr. Ahern ? have had a controversy in the Elizabeth papers over the frescoes in the Church and Father Kane said Brownson claimed They were "grand". Mr. Ulmstead was married to Mary Ephelia Stearns. Sister Simplicia of Boston sent the medals rather than Mons. Seton. Mrs. Brownson is very glad Henry hears Mass every morning and presumes he keeps Lent strictly. It must be hard for Henry to walk so far to his office. She gives her love to Fifine. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
