My dear Fred,
I wrote you a
very hurried letter
yesterday about the
speech. I do not think
the mistake I mentioned
was in the copy in
your paper but I found
it in the Tribune which
as your father
Name: William Seward
Birth: 1801-05-16
Death: 1872-10-10
had not
then seen puzzles me.
About the monument,
Mr Daniel Wall
mistaken in saying your
Father purchased the
one he selected it was
expressly said that
Page 2
the purchase depended
upon your approval
of the same. Aunty
Name: Lazette Worden
Birth: 1803-11-01
Death: 1875-10-03
agrees with us in liking
that depicted in the
Pictoral, but she
would much prefer
granite to marble.
Can granite be obtained
in Albany? and what
is your opinion? I
preferred a grey to
a white stone but
your father seemed
to be pleased with the
marble so I did
not make a point
of it.

I will write to your
father on the subject
and let you know.
He left here yesterday
morning for N. York
Name: City: New York
County:
State: NY
Country: US
where he will probably
be the remainder of the
week & then go to
Orange County
Name: Orange County City:
County: Orange
State: NY
Country: US
. Aunty
stays at least two
weeks from next
Saturday. When will
you come home?
Caroline
went to Niagara
Name: City: Niagara Falls
County: Niagara
State: NY
Country: US
&
returned with Father.
What will be the height
of the monument as
Page 4
represented in the picture?
All send love. Dieu
vous garde. Your
Mother.
