Orestes thanks Henry for sending the Detroit Press and supposes it was sent on account of the chess column as Orestes notified Henry that he was to continue his chess journal. The editor of the column, T. P. Bull of 240 Howard St., is a good soul whom Orestes has known for some 12 years. The next Journal Chess will be out in a few days and Orestes hopes Henry will look over the copy. Orestes has had plenty of trouble with the purchasers of the Chess Journal, but he has avoided law suits because they are too expensive for his large family. The lead mine promises will but the boys are so anxious to go to school that they work only on Saturdays. One of the girls, Sarah Brownson, is very apt in learning. Orestes wants to know about Henry's family and should be delighted to make their acquaintance or even hear of them. One of Orestes' school girls formerly lived in Detroit near Henry and she often spoke about Brownson. :: III-3-a incomplete 2pp. 12mo.
