Although Orestes has received no answer to his last letter he cannot resist writing again. He hopes that Henry's gout is not giving him trouble and that he and his family are in good health. He notes that Henry's former law partner has met with a fatal accident and asks Henry to express his grief to his wife at her brother's death. He asks Henry not to forget to write him a few lines, since they alone are left of their father's family. Orestes' family is well, his son John Brownson is for the second time the father of a girl, and his son Ned is teaching a school about 9 miles away. Their mother-in-law Mrs. Glass died a short time ago at the age of 41. His family is rejoicing today at having just finished their jubilee. He wishes the same blessing to Henry and his family. P. S. Orestes has been trying to find Henry's letters to ascertain how much money Henry has sent him, but has only the letters of October 1878 and November, 1879, both of which contained $50. He believes that Henry sent him in July, 1876, nearly $100 $666.67, if he is correct and $143 in June, 1877, but the dates and amounts are from memory and entries in his bank book. Henry has sent him of his father's estate, his one third, or $910. If Henry has preserved the checks he sent to Orestes or has his acknowledging letters for the money as sent on four occasions, he can tell the exact amount. Orestes will try again to find out the exact amount, and hopes that this causes Henry no embarassment. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
