Scope and Contents

Henry's explanation of everything is satisfactory to Orestes and more favorable than he expected. He has nothing more to say except that it way be satisfactory to Sarah M. Brownson Tenney also. He is surprised that Henry has four sons and asks their names. One of Orestes' pupils lived near Henry and often told Orestes of Henry's daughter. He asks the age of his daughters. Orestes eldest son is John Joseph Brownson, 19 years, next is William Henry Edward, 13 years old and Charles Augustus is 2. The girls are Mary 17, Sarah 11, Annie 9, Louise 7, Rosa4, and Sarah deceased who would have been 15. The war troubles killed her almost before birth. The two boys and Orestes are now engaged in mining, but they are not very successful as yet. They have a large mine which may yet turn out much lead, if they can find it. P.S. Orestes is very anxious to receive his share of the estate as soon as possible, as he is much cramped and has no home. Orestes sold his chess journal but will never get paid, be fears. He shall write to Sarah's Henry's statements and asks her to conform to them if she will. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp 8vo.
