My dear Jennings,
I have recieved the books
and statement and trust I am making
progress. I have also two letters from Mr
Bradley
I hope to leave this city so as to reach
Auburn next week. I can say nothing to
you by way of advice but to recommend
that the money on hand exceeding $1000, or
$1500 be remitted
This letter is addressed to you under the hope
that you have returned with your family to
to Westfield, when I am assured of that fact
I shall be more explicit. If the letter comes
to Mr. Bradleys hands he will observe the
above direction. Very truly as always
Your brother
W. H. Seward
