Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Brownson feels no uneasiness about the house or the rooms Henry proposes to assign him. He has full confidence that Henry and Fifine will make him comfortable. Brownson only wants to be able to go to Church He will take his two great chairs, desk, card table an the library table. Henry is to bring the dimensions of any room Brownson is expected to furnish. Brownson will also take along his bed, bedstead and perhaps a few other articles so Henry will have no expense for furniture. The rest of the furniture he will give to Sarah M. Brownson Tenney, especially the kitchen, dining-room and parlor furniture. But he will not settle anything with Sarah until Henry comes and he knows Fifine's wishes. Yet Brownson wishes to leave Sarah all he can. He has the October number all written but a part of the literary notices and valedictory. His eyes trouble him very much and he can hardly see the writing on his paper. Love to Fifine and the Children. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
