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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT 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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-085.xml Tuesday, Jany. 2.

Rec’d a letter from C. B. 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, as there was a third person present, but it evinced good sense. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-090.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-091.xml Monday, April 30.

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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT 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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-097.xml On the fourth of September he writes thus to his brother James, justifying his continuance in New York. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-097.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-098.xml [Sept.] 5th Receive letters & papers frm N.Y.

Though short it can hardly fail of interesting thee, as relative to thy friend Elihu. I shall go, in a few days, to Perth Amboy, where thou wilt not suppose that a Script from thee can prove unacceptable. Thou wilt of course preserve this letter till my return,~~ http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-103A.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-104.xml 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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-105.xml 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.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-106.xml The next day, September twenty-fifth, Charles addressed his brother from Perth Amboy. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-106.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-106A.xml Amboy.

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.
