Moved to Brookhaven for Health and Morals
A letter from a farmer describes leaving the country for Brookhaven to provide his son and daughter with better education and moral surroundings. He praises the town’s health, churches, and absence of saloons, notes his daughter’s education and a mysterious illness, and laments his son’s influence from town life while reflecting on local social changes.
