TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTER FROM CYRUS HENRY BROWN TO MARY ANN BURROWS LYLE, Westerly R.I. Oct. 30, 1907, Mrs. Mary A (Burrows) Lyle. Honolulu, T.H.
    Dear Mrs. Lyle;
    Promptly in due time I received from you “The Pacific  Com. Advertiser, full of valuable and interesting matters which I very much  appreciate. I cut out the address on the paper stamps & all & pasted it in my scrapbook to keep you in remeberance lest I forget. I wish I could have had  this paper one year ago, before I knew you, if Governor Brown or James E. F.  Brown had only given me your address when I was pumping them for anything I could get, my book would have been much improved, however, it will introduce  you to larger numbers of your far-away cousins. While your husband was with  Donal(d) McKay, at East Boston probably I was living at (Allston) Boston for I spent all my married life in Boston, 41 years. You were married two years before I wed, yet I am 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 but he never got to it.
     The Book is being bound - I have the last thing to write - my name in the 325 books I am sending out, which seems little but all  takes lots of time - I think of you in that fertile and picturesque island of  the Pacific - I always thought I would like to see it.   I had a vacation of 8 days.  I drove with my olderst daughter (Elizabeth Lovina Brown m. George Utter- my note) to Boston. Stopped two nights in Providence R.I.; then went on through those beautiful towns to Boston, my daughter returning the next day by train - I had four (4) days with the Press Co. that is printing the book, in placing the pictures . At night visited my children. First my son Edwin, at Allston ; my son Fred, in (Roxbury) Boston, for account of his marriage -see paper by this mail-also No. Stonington Centennial. Then one night with my daughter Katherine & family in Melrose, Mass.  - dined with my  youngest dau. who is teaching in Andover Mass, a very beautiful town; it is now Saturday, Oct 12 - there on thru Haverhill, to Newburyport to visit my youngest son Clifford & his lovely family with 2 grandsons, in that old historic town of Newburyport, where & along here landed our ancestors. It is a quaint old town, about 8 acres of a very ancient burying ground - the headstones were imported from  England. These stones bear the date of 1700, scarcely any in 1800 - You will become acquainted with my children when you read Brown Genealogy. I could continue this rambling account all day, but  I must cut it off & send  this message on its long journey, to that far away island of the great Pacific Ocean. With kindest regards to you all  I remain Very truly yours, Cyrus H. Brown

TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTER FROM CYRUS HENRY BROWN TO MARY ANN BURROWS LYLE, Westerly, R. I., Aug. 26, 1907,  Mrs. Mary A (Burrows) Lyle.
    The Brown Genealogy, has been much longer in press that was anticipated the first of this year. However, to give satisfactory results, it is not regretted. While the first part was being printed, it has enabled me to enter many large families, adding about one thousand numbers. 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 few are mentioned in the preface. it has been made possible to publish the book by the generous contributions of some, other than by subscriptions for books. Even now it is doubtful if there is sufficient to pay the printing alone.
    It is reasonalble to suppose that every book of the number specified in the contract will be wanted. The regular subscription price was five dollars, but in view of the additional one hundred and fifty pages, all books NOT ALREADY SUBSCRIBED for by conditions THEN stated, can be had in order of  your subscription until the books are taken, for $2.50, with postage or express (TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ADDED,) after my subscription list is filled.
    One half the subscribers have already sent their subscriptions when solicited; other subscribers are NOW asked to send the amount of their subscriptions, as the book is approaching completion, and is being indexed, and will be delivered without doubt in September.
   In sending this circular I wish also to know if there are any corrections to be made in your address before filling your order. ( I have yours.)
       Your order is for one book, amount paid $5.00
                                         Sincerely yours, Cyrus H. Brown
     My correspondance is very great, to do the work that I have done - I was not going to send you this sheet, only a postal  (can’t read word here) letter later - I want you to write me a long letter, you will find so much about me & my brothers & sisters & my own children, & grandchildren & all their pictures - even my great grand children & myself holding the youngest; that it will be unneccessary to tell you about myself. I want you to fill out the planks enclosed of yourself & children.  Here I was interrupted by the coming of my man & wife in an automobile from Syracuse N.Y. then soon after took my bag & train for Boston & now to night at my oldest son’s finishing my letter-
     I am in Boston to locate the pictures in the book which will take three days....
     I am with kindest regard your cousin, Very sincerely, Cyrus H. Brown

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 get your letter from that far away island of the Pacific - But distances when one has traveled all over the world on land and sea, are not as great. I am waiting to go to Boston, to put the pictures in the book-the last thing to be done, the indexing is nearly completed. While I am held up from starting for Boston by a man who is on his way to visit me I will take the moments to write what I promised on my postal card last night which I will now enclose. There will be a place in the book for you to enter 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 anything scarcely - but after a year he brought me his father’s Bible which contained good records, and gave me far more than anything they all wrote me. I tried to get who Govenor’s wife was. I got but little, so your own record is cut short.. Of (course) I could have found you three months sooner & should have placed you in good order & all your children & grand children, but no one told me of your wherebouts. Only yesterday I got your Revolutionary Records which I was glad to get; I can place it under my 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 our fathers & 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 & direct descendents 130 names he thanked me beautifully, which is all I get for my long task; but to assist in printing the book costs alone $1,400, he gave me a check for $100. Three others have done as well - one family sent $165. If it had not been for these gifts, I could not have published the book at all.  I have given all my time and over $300 to produce these family records. Even James F.C. Brown of Mystic had not subscribed. He was going to put his father’s picture in the book, he was going to send it a month ago - but it has not come today, the last day & it cannot go in now. It will be a pleasure for you to see my book I know - & live over again the days of your youth in Mystic, Conn. I put in at my own expense the old Burrows mansion at Mystic.

Thanks to Judith Wood for transcribing the letters from Cyrus Henry Brown to her Grandmother.

She was greatly beloved as wife, mother and Christian woman. Her children and grandchildren were the crowning glory and dearest solace of her life, and her last words, as she was thinking of them, were: "I must leave them, but I have led them aright" -- parting words never to be forgotten.

Regiment assigned to 9th Army corps Oct. 9, at Pleasant Valley, Maryland. Oct 28 the long march from Pleasant Valley to Falmouth, Va., began (175 miles in twelve days). Without tents during the entire winter, exposed to terrible storms,a nd lying at night on the frozen ground or in the mud of Virginia, with no covering other than blankets, very scanty and thin, was an experience which tested the mettle and tried to the upmost the endurance of every man -- and planted the seeds of disease and death which produced such a harvest on the plains of Falmouth, and gave to its camp the appropriate name of "Camp Death."
    He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1863. Promoted to 1st Sergeant Mar. 6, 1863; was in the siege of Suffolk, Va., Apr. 11 to May 4. In June the regiment joined the expedition to White House Landing and on it return he was assigned to provost duty at Portsmouth, Va., adn later at Norfolk, Va., covering about five months in the two cities.
     Being relieved from duty, the regiment was ordered to Newport News, Va., on Jan. 24, 1864. Mr. Brown was one of the detail which made a successful raid upon Brandon Farms, on the james River, capturing and distroying large quantities of Regel supplies. Feb. 3 the regiment took transports for Morehead City, NC, and thence to Newport Barracks and Little Washington, NC.

Upon the regiment devolved the duty of holding in check the massed forces of the enemy at the critical point in the battle, and it was under a constant fire for six hours, which cost the company sixteen officers and men killed, wounded and missing. May 31, Mr. Brown was promoted to 2d Lieutenant, and participated in the battle of Cold Harbor; also at the commencement of the battle of Petersburg. He was honorably discharged June 14, 1864.
