Brownson, Orestes A. Jr., Dubuque, Iowa, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1876 November 12

Identifier: CBRH III-3-a

Scope and Contents

Orestes thanks Henry for sending him the $143 on account of Brownson's estate. It seems overpowering to think that Sarah M. Brownson Tenney is no more on earth. Now Orestes and Henry are all that are left of that once large and apparently lasting family of father, mother, seven sons and a daughter. What changes a few years have brought about, all sad. Henry's letter affords Orestes very great consolation in telling of the happy manner of dear sister's death; if well prepared and ready what matter a little sooner or later, except indeed to the orphan children. If there should even be anything Orestes could do for them, be may be counted upon. He has heard that Judge William J. Tenney is well off, tolerably rich so that temporarily the children will not suffer. Orestes' youngest child Charles Augustus Brownson is very sick of the measles; he is two years old and not much can be done for him. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
