Brownson Orestes A. Jr., Dubuque, Iowa, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1878 February 25
Scope and Contents
Orestes thinks the price of $175 for the sets of "Brownson's Review" must have scared Mr. Linehan as nothing has since been heared from him. Orestes does not think it would do any good to write to Mr. Lawrence Kehoe as he will do more for Henry than for Orestes who is a stranger to him. Orestes asks if Sadlier made his January returns of which Henry spoke in Dec. Orestes supposes there is no use looking for dividends. Orestes is plodding along, still keeping from debt and that is all. This month's salary will enable Orestes to finich paying for the house and there remains $400 with interest to pay on the land, the only bad, dangerous debt he has on hand. Still the fencing and breaking of the first field has to be done this season to get a start towards making the farm pay taxes and self supporting. All are well. P. S. Orestes has changed his P.O box to "Drawer 220." :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
