Dear Mrs. Lyle;
Promptly in due time I received from you “The Pacific Com.Advertiser, full of valuable and interesting matters which I very muchappreciate. I cut out the address on the paper stamps & all & pasted itin my scrapbook to keep you in remeberance lest I forget. I wish I couldhave had this paper one year ago, before I knew you, if Governor Brownor James E. F. Brown had only given me your address when I was pumpingthem for anything I could get, my book would have been much improved,however, it will introduce you to larger numbers of your far-awaycousins. While your husband was with Donal(d) McKay, at East Bostonprobably I was living at (Allston) Boston for I spent all my marriedlife in Boston, 41 years. You were married two years before I wed, yet Iam the older. The Brown Genealogy. I am sorry I did not know you before.James E.F. Brown was going to have his father’s picture in the book buthe never got to it. The Book is being bound - I have the last thing towrite - my name in the 325 books I am sending out, which seems little butall takes lots of time - I think of you in that fertile and picturesqueisland of the Pacific - I always thought I would like to see it.   I hada vacation of 8 days.  I drove with my olderst daughter (ElizabethLovina Brown m. George Utter- my note) to Boston. Stopped two nights inProvidence R.I.; then went on through those beautiful towns to Boston,my daughter returning the next day by train - I had four (4) days withthe Press Co. that is printing the book, in placing the pictures . Atnight visited my children. First my son Edwin, at Allston ; my son Fred,in (Roxbury) Boston, for account of his marriage -see paper by thismail-also No. Stonington Centennial. Then one night with my daughterKatherine & family in Melrose,  Mass.  - dined with my  youngest dau. whois teaching in Andover Mass, a very beautiful town; it is now Saturday,Oct 12 - there on thru Haverhill, to Newburyport to visit my youngest sonClifford & his lovely family with 2 grandsons, in that old historic townof Newburyport, where & along here landed our ancestors. It is a quaintold town, about 8
acres of a very ancient burying ground - the headstones were importedfrom England. These stones bear the date of 1700, scarcely any in 1800 -You will become acquainted with my children when you read BrownGenealogy. I could continue this rambling account all day, but  I mustcut it off & send this message on its long journey, to that far awayisland of the great Pacific Ocean. With kindest regards to you all

The Brown Genealogy, has been much longer in press that wasanticipated the first of this year. However, to give satisfactoryresults, it is not regretted. While the first part was being printed, ithas enabled me to enter many large families, adding about one thousandnumbers. The continuous TIME given to compiling this work is five years.
    One half of the material was furnished by Charles Newton Brown, Esq.,of Madison, Wisconsin, and others contributing liberally of whom a feware mentioned in the preface. it has been made possible to publish thebook by the generous contributions of some, other than by subscriptionsfor books. Even now it is doubtful if there is sufficient to pay theprinting alone.
    It is reasonalble to suppose that every book of the number specifiedin the contract will be wanted. The regular subscription price was fivedollars, but in view of the additional one hundred and fifty pages, allbooks NOT ALREADY SUBSCRIBED for by conditions THEN stated, can be had inorder of  your subscription until the books are taken, for $2.50, withpostage or express (TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ADDED,) after my subscription listis filled.
    One half the subscribers have already sent their subscriptions whensolicited; other subscribers are NOW asked to send the amount of theirsubscriptions, as the book is approaching completion, and is beingindexed, and will be delivered without doubt in September.
   In sending this circular I wish also to know if there are anycorrections to be made in your address before filling your order. ( Ihave yours.)
       Your order is for one book, amount paid $5.00
                                         Sincerely yours, Cyrus H. Brown

I wantyou to fill out the planks enclosed of yourself & children.  Here I wasinterrupted by the coming of  my man & wife in an automobile fromSyracuse N.Y. then soon after took my bag & train for Boston & now tonight at my oldest son’s finishing my letter-

TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTER FROM CYRUS HENRY BROWN TO MARY ANN BURROWS LYLE
Westerly, R.I. Aug. 27, 1907. Mrs. Mary Ann (Burrows)Lyle, Honolulu,Hawaii
My dear Cousin:
         Yours of Aug 12 received yesterday - was exceedingly glad to getyour letter from that far away island of the Pacific - But distances whenone has traveled all over the world on land and sea, are not as great. Iam waiting to go to Boston, to put the pictures in the book-the lastthing to be done, the indexing is nearly completed. While I am held upfrom starting for Boston by a man who is on his way to visit me I willtake the moments to write what I promised on my postal card last nightwhich I will now enclose. There will be a place in the book for you toenter your marriage (in full) & your nine children & their marriages ,for the book will be valuable 40 or 50  - 75 years hence for records.Govenor Brown of Norwich, I could not get from him in writing anythingscarcely - but after a year he brought me his father’s Bible whichcontained good records, and gave me far more than anything they all wroteme. I tried to get who Govenor’s wife was. I got but little, so your ownrecord is cut short.. Of (course) I could have found you three monthssooner & should have placed you in good order & all your children & grandchildren, but no one told me of your wherebouts. Only yesterday I gotyour Revolutionary Records which I was glad to get; I can place it undermy father’s group picture & I have no doubt it takes you all in as sons &daus. of the American Revolution. Such a record is highly prized here.Who I am & all of our families you can read in The Brown Genealogy -There many that appreciate my long undertaking, that the memory of ourfathers & mothers may be preserved to our children &
children’s children. The man I am now (this moment) waiting to see,subscribed for 3 books & after I had found of his ancestors & directdescendents 130 names he thanked me beautifully, which is all I get formy long task; but to assist in printing the book costs alone $1,400, hegave me a check for $100. Three others have done as well - one familysent $165. If it had not been for these gifts, I could not have publishedthe book at all.  I have given all my time and over $300 to produce thesefamily records. Even James F.C. Brown of Mystic had not subscribed. Hewas going to put his father’s picture in the book, he was going to sendit a month ago - but it has not come today, the last day & it cannot goin now. It will be a pleasure for you to see my book I know - & live overagain the days of your youth in Mystic, Conn. I put in at my own expensethe old Burrows mansion at Mystic.
