Sarah cannot realize Orestes A. Brownson's death or write more than a few lines this morning. The last letter said he was much better. Sarah hopes Henry will write her everything. Henry cannot imagine how strange and dreadful it seems, not having had any idea of Brownson's being seriously ill. The Tenneys hoped to have had him brought on here where he has many friends and his last letter told how well he was doing in money matters it could easily have been done. She is very sorry about it indeed. It will be a great disappointment to a great many here. His lifelong associations were in this part of the world and it would have given people one opportunity to do him some sort of justice. Sarah does not see what can be done now. Henry's telegram says the funeral is arranged for tomorrow. All that can be done is to render Brownson the honor which he deserved and which will be freely given him one of these days. Sarah does not think anything should have been done in haste. Sarah wants all the particulars and wonders what could have been the matter to pull him down so suddenly and unexpectedly. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
