McCloskey finished yesterday a series of masses said through a week for the repose of the soul of Orestes A. Brownson . This was but a duty of friendship which he owed to one of the warmest friends he ever had. When Brownson discontinued his Review, McCloskey wanted to write but was unable to do it because he suffers from attacks of nervousness while writing. Father William Everett wrote that he said mass for Brownson and went on to recall the splendid talks of Brownson in their old home in Second Avenue. McCloskey does not doubt that every priest who knows of Brownson's worth will offer at least one mass for him. Henry should know how, as the representative of his father, some of his old friends revere his memory. These few lines have no other purpose and do not at all call for the trouble of a response. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
