Orestes A. Brownson showed Sarah the photographs of Henry's children and said she would keep it down in her apartments. Judge William J. Tenney thinks they are very pretty children. The youngest Orestes Brownson is a perfect little darling, a jolly little angel, but Sarah pities him for the name he has to bear through life. If she thinks of him as Orestes she cannot look at him. Jessie Tenney says that about the eyes he looks like Dr. Brownson and like his grandfather fills up the entire armchair. They say Sallie Brownson looks like Sarah, and all have eyes like Mammy Sarah H. Brownson. The judge always gets the gout pills for Brownson and knows all about them. The price is a dollar and a half a box. Sarah was sorry afterwards she wrote Henry so much about Brownson but she felt so indignant at his injustice and misrepresentations, that she could not forbear. She never saw anything like the judge's patience with him. The judge comes home at six tired, cold and hungry. Before he can get a mouthful Brownson begins to question him, and he has to shout his answers again and again. all through dinner, so that when they are together at last, the Judge does not seem to have much voice left for Sarah. Still he is always pleasant, and ready to talk, though of the silent kind. The Review is out. The Judge wrote on Napoleon, Mr. Mc Carthy on Mary Queen of Scots and Dr. Smith on Gregory VII. The rest are Brownson's. He has the April number nearly written. Sarah understands how hard it is for Henry to write. The Judge had to write his bit by bit from eight o'clock to ten, and that is pretty hard after writing all day. Of course, like Fifine, Sarah had no idea of letting the Judge go off to write. But this is something Brownson cannot understand. He would be very glad for an article from Henry. Sarah hopes this will be the last of Mr. Carthy and Dr. Smith as contributors. Sarah has never seen Brownson in better health. He eats like a trooper three times a day, scarcely ever misses a full meal and always complains that he is losing his appetite. He has everybody running today, as he has a "touch of the gout" but by the way he is talking and laughing with the Irishwoman who cleans his rooms. She cannot think it very bad. She is very sorry for Henry if he has the faintest touch of it. P.S. Probably included here. The Judge found out that a box of Blaine's pills were $1.25 and contained about 25 or 30 in each box. He can secure them at a wholesale price if Henry wants them. Brownson has not got quite well yet. The Christmas turkeys laid him low. Sarah has a cold but otherwise was never so well in her life as she has been since she got over the intermittent fever last summer. Jessie sends her love to the children. She does not look much like the little girl Henry took to Church but is growing up a very pretty, stylish young lady, perfectly obedient and devoted to the performance of Sarah's slightest wish. No woman ever had more to be grateful for than Sarah does now. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
