EP 7.12

Though this seems to be a breaking point for Brace, leading up to his sisters death, during the time of her sickness, you can see in another letter addressed to his good friend Frederick Kingsbury, on June 25, 1849. A kind of a long winded letter by Brace, you can almost feel his annoyance of even writing the letter to his friend, “I am grateful for the good I get from such as you and the rest. And yet I sometimes think it might be better for me to be entirely separated from you all for a while.” and this quote is very curious to me, for reasons that will be clear soon “I am grateful for the good I get from such as you and the rest.” who exactly is the “the rest” that he is so grateful to receive the “good” from, and why would he think it’s better to be “separated from you all for a while”, if he was so grateful for such good. (insert Ben Shapiro “I’m just asking questions”). Of course, he could be talking about John, and his brother, the other Frederick, Brace grew up with in Connecticut, and I would like to point out again, that all four also graduated from Yale University within one year of each other. To me though, that’s a strange way to talk about your friends. “The rest” is a more impersonal term you use to describe some OUTSIDE of your inner most circle, but maybe still in INSIDE “The Group” as a whole (Show the Anglo American Establishment). Now, before we go any further, I wold like to be clear, what I’m about to present, as of current, is speculation, but just take a ride with me, and see how you feel (Ben Shapiro, Just asking questions again). So, order for you to understand why I find this little quote so damn curious, and let me quickly repeat it “I am grateful for the good I get from such as you and the rest. And yet I sometimes think it might be better for me to be entirely separated from you all for a while.” let me first explain to you exactly who, Charles Loring Brace is writing.
