Albany Thursday morning
My Dear Frances
My lingering at Troy

yesterday morning, the
tedious examination of witnesses during the day, the studying of a
new Patent cause at night, and the inevitable consultation
and supper with Weed
Name: Thurlow Weed
Birth: 1797-11-15
Death: 1882-11-22
& Benedict

prevented my writing
a word to you. There is a brief interval before labor this
morning, I avail myself of it to say that I trust that
the public measure adopted to prevent the ravages of
Cholera ought not to alarm you. Because approbation is truly
the greatest of predicting causes of Cholera, and secondly
that it is conclusively shown that Cholera only comes in the
place of other diseases while the aggregate mentality
in the state is much diminished

is very deeply mortified and not a little
exasperated as I learn. He attributes his rejection to
Mr Fillmores
Name: Millard Fillmore
Birth: 1800-01-07
Death: 1874-03-08
hostility and revenge against him- Alas! For the
Vice President. He has now to bear responsibilities that
were never set down in his bond.
The Politicians begin to see signs of a renewal of the
Loco Foco party under a new review of its factions with
Col Benton
Name: Thomas Benton
Birth: 1782-03-14
Death: 1858-04-10
at its head as the candidate for the
Presidency in 1852 on the principle of Opposition to slavery.

Strange things have happened there the result of these things in the
election of Col Benton would be. Whatever may happen I
foresee in it my vindication before the Public for the policy
I had presented on the slavery question.
I had a very nice visit at Mrs Winslows
Name: Nancy Winslow
Birth: 1813-08-20
Death: 1861-12-09

She is making a garden of terraces about as indefinite
