Shares some of his views on business and religion, details events relating to his family and discusses his future plans. Does not mind being poor, so long as he can get by. Hopes to take up new work soon. Sends Sanborn a number of letters from other family members. Because his eyesight is so bad, and he is so busy with other work, Brown writes this letter over the course of a number of days, always writing extremely early in the morning. Pages five through nine are missing. The last page is a postscript written in different ink, and also signed.
