My dear Wm & friends
at Auburn––
About 20 days since when better than
usual for me I took the severeast cold asthma
and inflammation of the brest I ever hard. I
thought I must suffocate. I felt anxious to see
all the family at Auburn but this is out of the
question. But I do fondly anticipate that
Henry will come and spend some time
with me in Jan. or Feb if I live til then.
Besides the desire of his company, I am not
able to do business. My affairs gets deranged
and requires his attention, which by then will be
indespensible
Dear friends most
Truly & affectionately Yours––
SS Seward
My dear family are worn out with nursing
