My dear Aunty,
In forty-eight
hours the impeachment
question will be decided.
The Presidents

accusers
have been talking confidently
of conviction the last two
days but I think it is
more brag than any positive
knowledge of the votes. The
Senators do not consult each –
other, or talk with anyone

& I
walked through the
Square.
It is so very
beautiful I wish you
could see it. I am
so sorry Kate Barrett
Birth: 1837 Death: 1878-04-08
does not find anyone
to take her rooms.
Affectionately
yours-
Anna.

this week. Will you say
so, if you see the Col ? It
will soon be too hot for
sight-seeing. It rained some
part of every twenty-four s
hours last week, & Thursday
we had a hail storm which
made it quite cool. That
day we had all the
Presidents Counsel at dinner
although they had each
been here separately before.

Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
went to
see her and had an agreeable
call. He says she has entirely
lost her good looks & is fat.
Her dress was coarser than
most servants. She lost some
of the property by the rebellion
& her husband
Birth: 1817-10-02 Death: 1881-10-28
has spent
the rest. Father and
Mr Risley
Birth: 1814-06-16 Death: 1893-08-23
have set out to
drive to Marlborough down
in Maryland . But I doubt
if they go so far, as the
roads will probably be very
muddy.
