Identifier: CBRH III-3-c

Scope and Contents

Henry's kindness in sending the account of the flag raising at the Brownson school is duly appreciated. Orestes has been on the point of writing several times since Henry left; but as he takes up his pen, he sees Henry before him again, and no pen scratching can compensate for the pleasure of his visit, and he can only ask when will he come again. He supposes Henry will soon be off for the Catholic Congress, as he sees notices of him in its connection from time to time. Orestes trusts all Henry's family are well. Sarah Brownson lives in town now and is Mrs. Sarah Ziegler. Only Rosa and Charley Brownson to comfort Maggie and Orestes in their old days. Rosa says she will not marry and Charley is now too busy growing to do much else. He is the tallest of his children now. Henry must not forget to send an account of the proceedings of the great lay Congress, as Orestes will enjoy everything connected with it hugely. If he did not thank Henry for the portrait of their father Orestes A. Brownson and the Latin and Greek Testament he so kindly sent and of which Orestes is most fond, he does so now. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
