My Dear Sister
I received your
letter a few days since and
have deferred writing untill
this time in the hope that
I should report better of Tempes
Name: Temperance Seward
Birth: 1812-09-30
Death: 1848-10-18
health, which I chave the grat-
ification to state is improv-
ing She is yet confined to
her bed though she sets up
from quarter to a half hour
three times a day, her fever
is very gradually running
down her tongue mostly
cleared off and every prospect
of her getting about in a few
days more

It is ayet quite uncer-
tain when we shall be able
to leave home for Auburn
Name: City: Auburn
County: Cayuga
State: NY
Country: US
not under two or three weeks
and probably not untill
October, it depends so much
on contingencies that it is
doubtful, Still I hope we
shall be able to do so
I expect Sarah
Name: Sarah Seward
Birth: 1833-06-08
Death: 1891-06-12
to come
up with us
Father
Name: Samuel Seward
Birth: 1768-12-05
Death: 1849-08-24
has quite a poor
turn just now, but I think
will be better in a few days
Mary Seward
Name: Mary Seward
Birth: 1796-08-17
Death: 1852-11-11
is now quite
well, she wishes to be remember-
bered to you,
We have expected Clarence
Name: Clarence Seward
Birth: 1828-10-07
Death: 1897-07-24
this fall but from

your letter I suppose we may
not look for him, had he have
come and we not able to
go up to Auburn I should have
sent Sarah
Name: Sarah Seward
Birth: 1833-06-08
Death: 1891-06-12
with him
When we go up I hope that
Henry
Name: William Seward
Birth: 1839-06-18
Death: 1920-04-29
will be at home, tho
I fear weI may not have
the pleasure of seeing him,
Affectionately Yours
