Heydenfelt thanks Brownson for the information of his letter of the 28th and is now reading volume 16 of Brownson's Works. As suggested by William Richards, he asks what priest gave Orestes A. Brownson instructions in the Catholic belief, the man he associated with in the latter part of his life and who Richards thinks now lives in New Jersey. He is particularly anxious to verify the localities where those "mesmeric circles" were formed during the revolutions of 1848, just before they broke out, and the names of the magnetizers—French, Italian, Swiss and American—who took part in the "peaceful agitation". Perhaps some of Brownson's correspondence may throw some light on the subject. If there is much detail and reference to that history in any of his letters, he will visit Detroit, if the letters are made available to him. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
