Summary ALS 4 pp. November 25, 1866 Letter to William Francis Brand from Charles David Brand, 1866 November 25

Charles David Brand writes to his brother W.F. Brand: saying that if William becomes an old bachelor it is his fault because he has “treated Kate badly”; advises him not to marry her “without love . . . I know she loves you more than any one else”; provides a short account of his (CDB's) current courtship with a woman he refuses to call by name; believes times are getting better, tobacco and oat crops are good but not wheat; urges WFB to visit their uncle during Christmas
