Henry's letter was received today, reminding him that the only one left in all their family still thinks of him. It was indeed a happy birthday for him; best of all was the prospect of seeing Henry soon, on his way to St. Paul. If Brownson will call Dr. John J. Brownson of Dubuque, his son, he will bring him out to Orestes' home. He is glad that the end is drawing near, although he has not accomplished much. The future seems so dark and uncertain to him; man is such an atom of Creation, and one so fallible that he would rather endure the evils he has than fly to those he knows not of. He speaks of their mother and father, Orestes A. Brownson . Henry should bring some of his children with him if possible. Orestes speaks of his family; Charley Brownson is nearly fifteen and is the youngest, but as big as a man. Sarah Brownson and Rosa Brownson are still home, the rest are married and gone. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
