Brown thanks Timon for all the kindness to her and her sister. The people here are very friendly, but there are no Catholics among them. Most of them are Methodists; they are anxious to see and hear a Catholic priest preach. Colonel Brown wrote that a priest intended coming at the same time he did. Mary understood before she left home that the vacations would commence the first of next month. She wrote Mrs. Brown that if any of the family should visit Springfield that Mary's sister should come with them. Mr. Brown may not visit the Barrens before next summer. She sends respects to Fathers Raho, Wiseman and Odin. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
