Sarah congratulates Fifine. She has no doubt Fifine's baby will be a great comfort to her. Orestes A. Brownson Jr. writes that Henry has told him that Brownson left the library to Henry, and said that Orestes should receive $1000 before any division was made and that the rest should be equally divided among the three, exdept that Sarah was to have the proceeds of "Liberalism", unexampled munificence. Henry had told Sarah that Orestes A. Brownson had never made any will, nor even expressed any wish to Henry in regard to what should be done with his property after his death. Sarah is anxious to know where Henry has since found this will or to whom Brownson expressed these wishes. Henry wrote Sarah that he wished to give Orestes enough out of the money Brownson left to make up a thousand dollars with what he had already received. Orestes tells Sarah that Henry proposes to give Orestes a thousand dollars and then divide the rest. Sarah would like to know what that means. To the proposition to give Orestes enough to make up the thousand dollars, she wrote Henry she would not give her consent and Orestes says Henry has proposed to give Orestes more than that Henry should please remember that he is responsible for every dollar in his hands of their father's money and that no arrangements made without her concurrence can stand in law. It is now almost three months since Brownson's death and there has been no statement of either his debts or his property. It is a loss of time to make propositions of this kind, for she will not consent anything being given to one or another, until the whole matter is clearly and lawfully settled. :: III-3-a A. L.
