Circular. To the friends of St. Stephen's House: The dwelling-house of the late Charles H. Brown, Esq., 37 Purchase Street [Boston], is about to be given up by the family.

This will render it, not only an almost unbearable nuisance to St. Stephen's Chapel, but, also, a not much less evil to St. Stephen's House. ..
