Brownson has had no heart to write Henry for a long time. Sarah has probably informed Henry of her coming marriage to that old codger Judge William J. Tenney . She can get married providing she gets off Brownson's hands. But that has not been her intention. She had made all her arrangements without his Knowledge or suspicion, got him to consent to move into one of the judge's houses and to let her fit it up. She had engaged herself to the judge and between them they had arranged for her, Tenney, and his daughter Jessie to live with him or he with them. Brownson, of course, bears the chief expense of their support. The arrangement does not suit him at all, but she insists that she will never leave him, and that if he leave her, he shall leave the house furnished and take more of the furniture with him. Sarah shows a meanness and grasping disposition of which he never suspected her. Besides, since their engagement, the judge has not treated him with ordinary civilty. Brownson shall take another house with a part of his furniture. He shall get himself a housekeeper. This will be a terrible blow to Sarah, for her Position will be much affected by it, for she has alienated all her friends and is tolerated out of respect for him. He will not leave town. He has found a house near St. Mary's church and expects a very decent and kind-hearted person to take charge of the house who is sufficiently educated to act as his secretary and amanuensis. He does not wish Sarah to know anything of his arrangements till after she is married, which is expected on the 26th inst. If his Review goes well, he will get along, though Sarah's dress ? draws heavily on his bank balance. He was much delighted to see Mrs. Van Dyke, the Baron, his wife and sister. Brownson almost fell in love with the sister, and should quite had he been some thirty years younger. He very much wants to see Fifine and the children. He hopes Orestes is better and less troublesome of nights. He much wants to see them all for he is lonely and loves them all dearly. He will probably make himself a home before the first of January. It is hard to be turned out of house and home as an old man over seventy, but he has no alternative but to live in a state of constant irritation. He has lost between thirty and forty pounds of flesh since Henry saw him, but his health is passable. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
