My Dear B.
I have only time to say to you
that I have more heart rending af-
fliction since I wrote you last than
I ever experienced in this time. I wish
you to read the inclosed - and if in your
judgement correct forward it by mail
immediately. We expect to be in
N.Y. next week where I will endeavor
to state facts to you. Polidore
Birth: 1799 Death: 1872-04-23
thinks
of living in Iowa this week. I hope his
object is laudable if so encourage it
Your affectionately
Saml. S. Seward
