Sarah received Henry's letter and the contract. She is much easier in mind now that she has that magic paper. She has had a little talk with Mr. Blumling and he says that if the sale is good he will give her still more, as he desires to forward her interest as well as his own. He cannot decide yet what the price of the book will be, as he has had all his printed in Germany until this one, and she supposes does not know how things cost here. It used to be cheaper to send a book to Germany to be printed than to have it done here. She hopes it will be out before Christmas. She put in a letter from Brownson yesterday so she supposes he has told Henry all the news. He is quite well and amiable now, but for six weeks was so hard to get along with that she was almost desperate. She thinks Dr. Henry S. Hewit is to blame for letting him take so many medicines of all sorts and kinds one right after the other. Brownson has made an arrangement with the owner of this house, and has no further trouble. She did not know at one time but that he could station himself in one house and her in the other and keep up both establishments until April. She wonders if the baby Orestes Brownson has developed any ancestral traits yet, or if it is too soon. She does not know much about the infant idea. She gives her love to Fifine and tells her if the young Orestes grows to his grandfather's size. Sarah hopes she may be there to see Fifine rule him. Lily Pegram has gone to Europe under care of Dr. Chotwood. Sarah does not go anywhere nor feel much like talking when anyone comes here, —life seems very dreary and desolate nowadays. Her profound regards to Mr. Fippy and Sallie Brownson :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
