Washington, D.C. is one of those locations that is limited in certain records that have been digitized & are accessable online. I have the same challenge with Pennsylvania ancestors.
The respectful title of "Mrs" makes sense now - I should have realized that as I've seen it before. The Brodhead surname is interesting though, as I haven't come across that.
Thank you for all the additional information!
You're very welcome, Jim. I forgot to add that Robinson wrote in his letter that "...Mrs. Coleman
has not been dismissed on account of
being a Catholic or on any other account, but
is now and
always has been holding her original appointment of laborer in the Treasury, Facts of which your correspondent was grossly ignorant, or willfully misrepresented to suit his purposes among people who had no means of knowing the difference between the truth and his mean petty lying."
