Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Mrs. Brownson writes to let Henry know they are well and that Henry's father will not visit Henry just yet, but will let him know when. He desires to know the street and number as Henry might be busy in his office when he arrives. Mrs. Brownson has been uneasy since she learned little Philip has the croup. Henry must have been alarmed and she knows how to pity him as Sarah was threatened with it until she was four or five years old and for years kept a bottle of medecine ready for fear of an attack at night. Henry's father walked up to Church last Sunday. The weather during Holy Week was very warm, about 84. Elizabeth is growing fast and a great many new buildings are going up. William Seton and his brother Robert Seton the Priest were here yesterday. His two unmarried sisters were here last week and stayed over night. The Brownsons like them much. William Seton and his sisters start Saturday for Europe to be absent eight months. Mrs. Brownson is not going to Detroit with Brownson. She would not want to leave Sarah alone. Her love to Henry and Fifine. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
