Severance inquieres if some one will edit and publish Orestes A. Brownson's writings or if they will be untouched in the condition they were left. In the latter case, he would like to receive the numbers of the Review containing the Refutation of Atheism, save the first published in October 1873. Severance is a University clergyman, and had, been a subscriber to Brownson's Review for years. As an author he is very much interested in Brownson and lives near Brownson's boyhood home in Royalton, Vermont. The house is still standing. Severance is conversant with Brownson's writings in connection with his different phases of unbelief and belief and he considers Brownson preeminently qualified to write a refutation of atheism. Severance believes the ranks of Brownson's family are very much thinned by death yet thinks Sarah M. Brownson Tenney is living. In former tears he was acquainted with the Healys sic of Washington, New Hampshire on Henry's mother's side, including Joseph Healy, Henry's uncle who has been dead some years. Severance visited Brownson several times in Chelsea, Mssachusetts thirty years ago. He wonders if there is any album photograph of Brownson available. :: III-3-a A. L. S. 4pp. 12mo.
