Orestes A. Brownson used to take 20 drops of calcioum, but she never knew of his taking it himself. He cut up so just after Mammy Sarah H. Brownson died, from the effects of it, that Sarah told him she would never give it to him. The Judge William J. Tenney often dropped it for him, and he would be obstreperous for a few days, have one or two days of oatmeal and mutton broth, and then come out of it all right again, but this he must have taken a very big dose and given Henry a big fright. Sarah wishes he might once get such a fright that he would leave off doctoring himself, as Henry says. How can Henry let Brownson so demean himself as even to think of uniting for the Catholic World? Sarah would not mail the article for Brownson were he there. After all Father Isaac T. Hecker's insults to think Brownson should have so little self-respect as to receive such a proposition with anything but scorn. Besides it is hardly fair to the new Quarterly. Brownson promised them his support when they were planning it. He has not even the excuse of needing the pay, because he has money enough for all he wants without writing, especially as he left here, as he said, in order to lessen her expenses. Henry is not to let him do it. No number of the Record ever came for him. The Judge will attend to the matter of Pustet and Sadlier. Mrs. Fleming told Sarah Lily Pegram's engagement was broken off. Father Leo Thebaud is sick again and gone home to recruit. Father Patrick Hennessey is sorry to hear Henry had been sick. Sarah believes Mr. McCarthy starts as editor of the Catholic World tomorrow. He also comes here tomorrow, intending as he wrote Ruthy Tenney, in reply to her note of invitation to lay fame, fortune and future at her feet. Sarah has not yet read the new quarterly, she had not the courage to undertake such heavy thinking but the Judge read Henry's article and several others and thinks it a fine affair. The Judge saw Henry's article spoken very highly of in the N. Y. Independent. She sends an item about Patrick Donahue . Jessie Tenney will write during the week. Ruthy walks and very prettily too. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
