Henry never forgets his father's or mother's birthday. His letter found her ill and having to give up her work. She dismissed a German girl who could not speak English but has a good girl now. She is very glad to hear that Henry's wife's sight is improving. Henry's father Orestes A. Brownson has had some gout in his right hand which did not hinder his writing. He has several connections with the Catholic World. There were two telegraphic dispatches from the Paulists inviting him to dine with T.W.M. Marshall which were refused. He is inclined to believe that Father Isaac T. Hecker wanted to get rid of him. He is now receiving $20 per week from Sadlier. Mrs. Brownson has not heard from Orestes Jr. for some time. Father Michael Kane is leaving and Father Leo G. Thebaud is taking his place. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
