He thanks Brownson for his letter and will be happy to meet him in New York; he asks him to name the day and hour. He sends at the same time a journal in which Brownson may read one of his literary caprices, somewhat humorous, but true in all its details. His son recently advertised in the Herald for a stock of precious documents in Spanish and has so far received some and is cutting the seals of the albums and perceives the value of the language and the papers. Because he translates Spanish with difficulty, he does not have the time or the means to make extracts which would exhaust the value of such archives. His family — son and four daughters — are all scientists or collectors, using every moment philatelic, geologic, etc. movements. He hopes to continue his correspondence with Brownson. :: III-3-d A.L.S. in French 3pp. 8vo.
