http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-09000.xml
I Feel little reluctance in complying with your
request. You know not fully the cause of my
sorrows. You are a stranger to the depth of my
distresses. Hence your efforts at consolation must
necessarily fail. Yet the tale that I am going to tell
is not intended as a claim upon your sympathy. In
the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to con-
tribute what little I can to the benefit of mankind.
I acknowledge your right to be informed of the
events that have lately happened in my family.
Make what use of the tale you shall think proper.
If it be communicated to the world, it will incul-
cate the duty of avoiding deceit. It will exemplify
the force of early impressions, and show the im-
measurable evils that flow from an erroneous or
imperfect discipline.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-09000.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To William Dunlap. Brown, Charles Brockden
http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-084.xml
It is nearly twelve months since I parted from you. I believe I have not written to you nor you written to me since.
How shall I account for your silence? The task is an easy one. I was not an object of sufficient important to justify
the trouble. My infirmities & follies were too rooted for you to hope their cure. Admonition & remonstrance under
your own hand, would be superfluous to this end. Hence your habitual reserve & silence of the pen suffered no in=
=terruption on my account. I lived with you six months. During that time you, no doubt scrutinized my conduct
& character with accuracy. You must have formed some conclusions respecting me, but you thought proper to be
silent respecting them. You weighed the opposite advantages of communication & reserve. You decided in favour
of the latter. I revere your rectitude my friend, in as great a degree as I detest my own imbecility: but it is allo...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-084.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To Elihu Hubbard Smith. Brown, Charles Brockden

Brown. It inclosed one for Miss Susan Potts—who is
his Mistress—& who came to town yesterday. I de-
livered it, & have seen her. Without being beautiful—
she is very interesting. Our talk was on common topics,

http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-095.xml
In a letter to his brother James, dated the twenty-fifth of
August, 1798, after mentioning his literary plans, for he was
then preparing to publish “Wieland,” and the project of a Ma-
gazine for his profit had been suggested; he concludes thus:
“heavy rains, uncleansed sinks, and a continuance of unexam-
pled heat, has within these ten days, given birth to the yellow
fever among us, in its epidemical form. Death and alarms
have rapidly multiplied, but it is hoped that now, as formerly,
its influence will be limited to one place.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-095.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To [James Brown]. Brown, Charles Brockden
http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-096.xml
This romantic turn was not a sudden effervescence, but a
steady rule and principle of action. He derived his motives of
duty from sources entirely different from ordinary men. Taking
the extremest boundary of duty as his starting point, he followed
the principle down through all its bearings until he brought it
home to himself. As an instance of this, while the city of New
York was infected with the yellow fever, Charles had visited his
friends at that place. His brother alarmed for his safety pressed
him by letter immediately to return to Philadelphia. The re-
ply of Charles was, that if he had been afflicted with that mala-
dy while on his visit, he should have required the kind offices
of his friends. He had, he said, further to reflect, that as he
should undoubted¬ly...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-096.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To James Brown. Brown, Charles Brockden

21stWell my beloved friend! It may afford you some satisfaction
to recognize my hand once more tho’ vague & feeble in a degree that
astonishes myself. I can add little to what is before said by William.
Most ardently do I long to shut out this City from my view but
my strength has been, within these few days, so totally & unaccount-
ably subverted, that I can scarcely flatter myself with being able,
very shortly, to remove. I do not understand my own case, but see
enough to discover that the combination of bodily & mental causes
have made such deep inroads on the vital energies of brain &
stomach, I am afraid I cannot think of departing before Monday at
the least.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-104.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To [Unknown. Brown, Charles Brockden

In another letter he says “ the weather has lately changed
for the better, and hopes are generally entertained that the
pestilence, for so it may truly be called, will decline. As to
myself, I certainly improve, though slowly, and now entertain
very slight apprehensions of danger to myself. Still I am
anxious to leave the city. To go to Amboy and remain
there for some time, will be most eligible. This calamity has
endeared the survivors of the sacred fellowship, W. D., W.
J. and myself to each other in a very high degree; and I con-
fess my wounded spirit, and shattered frame, will be most
likely to be healed and benefitted by their society. Permit
me therefore, to decline going with you to Burlington. For
a little while at least.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-105.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To [James] Brown. Brown, Charles Brockden

After some hesitation, a stranger to the person, though not to the character of Thomas Jefferson,
ventures to intreat his acceptance of the volume by which this is accompanied. He is unacquainted with
the degree in which your time & attention is engrossed by your public office: he knows not in what
way your studious hours are distributed, & whether mere works of imagination & invention are not exclud=
=ed from your notice. He is even doubtful whether this letter will be opened or read or, if read, whether
its contents will not be instantly dismissed from your memory; so much a stranger is he, though a citizen
of the United States, to the private occupations & modes of judging of the most illustrious of his
fellow Citizens.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-108.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To Armitt Brown. Brown, Charles Brockden
