Auburn Jan. 17th
My dear Henry,
I received your letter of the 15th
this morning I enclose the address.
I have only time to write a few lines &
my head aches violently. I think if you
still consider it advisable for me to come
to Albany that I shall be able to go as
soon as the 1st of Feb, about a fortnight
hence. I do not know how many maid
servants you have. Will it be necessary
for me to bring Maria
Unknown
along to wait upon
me. Tell Augustus
