My Dearest Sister,
We are all mixed up wonderfully
here but I have made a little place on the table
just large enough for a sheet of paper. Miss Oakley
Name: Frederick Seward
Birth: 1830-07-08
Death: 1915-04-25
is keeping store
Miss Oakley has made a calico dress for me
which I think will set very well she is to
make Clarys
Name: Clarinda McClallen
Birth: 1793-05-01
Death: 1862-09-05
silk. I bought a calico dress for
you just like mine if you wish me to send
it to you must say so I thought unless you
could have it made there it would be useless
I have not been out of the house yet, my limb
has been very weak and painful so that I
am unable to walk much. I have received
two letters from Henry
Name: William Seward
Birth: 1801-05-16
Death: 1872-10-10
since I wrote before.
One of them he sent by Mr Rutherford
Name: Lewis Rutherfurd
Birth: 1816-11-16
Death: 1892-05-30
a young
gentleman from New Jersey
Name: City:
County:
State: NJ
Country: US
who has come to
study with Henry, he brought also the
“Last days of Pompeii” which I will send you
as soon as I have read. This I cannot
do in so short a time as you not being
able to use my eyes much at a time.
You have read Stone’s
Name: William Stone
Birth: 1792-04-20
Death: 1844-08-15
criticism of this work
and as far as I can judge he estimates
its meris’ merits very correctly. Henry writes
nothing very new, he and Uncle Cary
Name: Trumbull Cary
Birth: 1787-08-11
Death: 1869-06-20
are living
in our old rooms very pleasantly going to the
Page 2
theatre and ‘dining out’. I believe they make a point
of dining with Rathbone
Name: Jared Rathbone
Birth: 1791-08-02
Death: 1845-05-13
every Sunday. Jennings
Name: Benjamin Seward
Birth: 1793-08-23
Death: 1841-02-24
is there on Sunday School business. Polydore
Name: Edwin Seward
Birth: 1799
Death: 1872-04-23
has
run away again and is considered a hopeless case.
Henry desires always to be affectionately remembered to you
I believe I have seen no one since I wrote before
but Isaack
Name: Isaac Miller
Birth: 1791-04-30
Death: 1853-04-03
and Marthy
Name: Martha Miller
Birth: 1792-05-02
Death: 1866-01-14
they are very constant
in their visits Sunday evenings. I will send
the things you mention if Miss Riggs
Name: Henrietta Riggs
Birth: 1806-11-10
Death: 1898-10-19

Alternate Text: finishes
your hood I expected it was certainly done
today and have just sent for it but it
is not quite finished I think I can certainly
send it Tuesday. Clary says her teeth
trouble her so much that she feels pretty
much discouraged, it is getting dark and
I must conclude. Report says F. Dibble

Little Fred has had no more trouble with his
hand and I begin to feel assured that it will
not pain him any more. Henry says that Tracy
Name: Albert Tracy
Birth: 1793-06-17
Death: 1859-09-12
says it is intermitting, that he will get over it
but protest against the use of Iodine.
Grandma

would give a great deal to see cousin Frances
