Brownson has received from Healy Harmon ? $10 which he says Brownson loaned him in the fell of 1860. Brownson has no recollection of this and Sarah M. Brownson Tenney is pretty sure Henry did. Henry certainly was very kind to him and gave him far more than ten dollars' worth of clothes. Henry is entitled to the money and needs it more than Brownson does. Healy seems to have left off drink and to have become sober and rational: but the Harmon blood has insanity in it. Brownson has been very ill, has had the gout in both hands and for a long time was unable to hold a pen or Henry would have heard from him before this. Brownson is now convalescent. Dr. Henry S. Hewit's last prescription is effectual though Brownson uses it only when driven to desperation. Sarah's baby, christened Mary Ruth Elizabeth, is a very fine and promising child and like Henry's Sally, a true Brownson. Poor Sarah finds her hands full in taking care of the baby. Brownson wants her to get a nurse and offers to pay the expense but Sarah is afraid a nurse will spoil the baby's temper. She is afraid to trust her with anyone but herself and is worn out. The nurse must come. Brownson's Review lives and he prints twelve hundred and fifty copies which considerably more than pay its expenses. He can afford to pay Henry for an article a number, say fifty dollars. Henry should give Brownson some articles. Gorini's Defense de l'Eglise, an article on Catholic Education, would not come amiss, relaxing the unexcused denunciation of the public schools without absolutely approving them. Brownson will send Henry General W. T. Sherman's memoirs. Brownson does not think Sherman a great general but thinks he has many of the elements of a great general. His chief defect, as General Ord said to him, is his despondency before battle. He never won a brilliant victory. Brownson hopes Henry's business prospers. If not he is to tell Brownson who cannot help him much but maybe a little in a strait. Brownson has been obliged to employ a woman to take care of his rooms, do his washing and mending and to take care of him in his illness. She is a married woman, an excellent nurse and has common sense. The Judge William J. Tenney and her majesty the Queen Sarah are grown quite complaisant since they find that Brownson is doing much more for them they are for him. He pays them $150 for his rooms, $8 a week for board and finds his own light and grog, hires in the season, a boy to bring up his wood and coal and make his fires. Neither of the Tenneys ever enter his room except the Judge when Brownson sends for him. Brownson pays the pew rent $42 a year and furnishes the family from May to November with 20 lbs of ice a day. Love to Fifine and the children, regrets to Mrs. Vandyke and Henry's brothers-in-law. P.S. Instead of sending bills, Brownson thinks it safer to send his check payable to Henry's order. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
