thought Of Cincinnati as q wilderness
without culture or comfort in the
early part Of the nineteenth century.
The charmingly romantic letters
which passed between Adolf Brandeis,
father of the justice, and his fiancee,
Frederika Dombitz, while she was
still in Germany, waiting for him
to make q home for her in the New
World. are simply fascinating In COM
position and old-time chivalry. She
was woman Of culture and literary
taste, who after coming to the States
found her greatest pleasure, aside from
family cares, in poetry and music.
Later on when the family moved to
Louisville, KY, where she found a
broader life and where her dis
guished son was born, both she and
her husband had more time for the
molding of the lives Of their chill
dren.
The War Between the States caused
some financial reverSeS to Adolf
Brandeis. and it was while waiting
for things to become more settled

America even when q young boy:

Mrs. La Toilette was there doing her
