Brownson has been intending to write Henry for months, but exhaustion, indolence or a horror of writing more than he is actually obliged to has prevented him from doing so. As Henry has never written an encouraging word about his Review, Brownson presumes Henry is disappointed in it. Its permanent sale will be about 1000 copies He has been unfortunate in his printers and publishers both. He is promised a better proof-reader hereafter. His health has been pretty good thus far, though his strength and memory gradually fail, and he feels that he is really growing old. July 29. Sarah M. Brownson has taken another house and is about moving. Of course Brownson must decamp till she gets moved. He goes to Bridgeport for a couple of weeks. Their new house is more convenient, is in a healthier position, corner of 1st Avenue and 4th Street in St. Patrick's parish. He is very glad to get out of the mudhole and Dutch neighborhood where he no vegetates. He hopes Henry, Fifine and the grandchildren are well, but Father Ernest Vandyke told Brownson that his namesake is a very delicate child. He hopes Henry's business prospers and that he meets expenses. He dreads nothing so much as debt. Brownson loves them all and wants to see them very much. He is lonely since Henry's dear mother died. But it is only a just penalty. Sarah does as well as she can, but she is no companion for her father. Her health is really improved for she works and has her own way in everything. He is to be remembered to all his friends in Detroit. Fifine is to kiss all the children for their grandfather who dearly loves them. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
