My dearest Sister

which was in every
respect in perfect char-
acter consonance with
the character of the
amiable Matilda.
I am sorry not to have
our Paulina
Name: Paulina Young
Birth: 1801
Death: 1868-09
and
equally
sorry that she has
so disagreeable a daugh-
ter. Of course you
could do no more
than you did and I
am not surprised that
even this much should
make you sick.

shall never live there another
summer. I presume this will
disappoint Mrs Blatchford

If we all live I presume
they will make us
many more sisters.
I dreamed last night
that I went to the
stable and found one
of our horses dying.
I think it a foreshad-
owing of the information
I find in your letter
this morning. There
is no more manure
to be drawn with our
horses & harness unless
Nicholas
Name: Nicholas Bogart
Birth: 1801-12-24

can draw
it which I know
he cannot. I do not

. I am
sorry
to disappoint Will
but would greatly

prefer hiring a pair
of horses to having
ours used under these
circumstances. Our horses
are conceded to be “old”
I am very sure the harness
is, and the carriage is
too fragile for general
use - yet they will
all answer to to make you
and I comfortable some
years yet and I insist
that they be kept for
that purpose. Will
Name: William Seward

is
himself with you this morning
and may suggest some
other arrangement, but I
still say that our horses
and Joseph are not to be
directed by Judge - it is
just such interference as I apprehended when I
urged the necessity of Nich- ^olas’^
