. She is of course to make a visit here
on her way.
I have been ploughing slowly through the apparently endless business with
Cook
duties and the time occupied by calls are considered it must be obvious that
I have very little time for labor. Under these circumstances I have called
my Secretary
Name: Samuel Blatchford
Birth: 1820-03-09
Death: 1893-07-07
up here and I have now a prospect of going through
next week with this and the Underwood

. How soon I can reach you I cannot
yet say. I am making an excellent wise and safe arrangement
with Cook and Maxwell. Your receipts in Chautaqua relieve me of all
fear of the ^un^ successful result of that great enterprise.
Yours affectionately,
William H. Seward.
