Florida Satturday evening
7 Oclock 14th Oct. 1841—
My dear Henry
In the hope that you left N.Y.
this morning in the Western Train of carrs,
I am anxiously looking for you every
moment from Goshen — Our dear Francis
and sons have been with us three days and
you cannot conceive the pleasure we have
had in their company — Your sons are
of all the persons we have had in our
house the most exemplary —
Sunday evening 7 oclock
My highest hopes and wishes have
been realised – You at two clock
and we are unable to express the
pleasure we had in the company of
yourself and family during your
short stay —
I had co ^ntem^ mplated getting
some information from you relative to
business that interests our pecuniary affairs
but the short time and the company present
prevented — First the Wood
Possibly George H. Wood suit in Chancery
you have always been impressed with the idea
that this is one of the plainest suits ever decided
in Chancery — I am lothe to be beat and therefore
wish you to procure me the best council
you can get write to me on the subject and
I will attend to it — Of of the most experienced
Dentist I wish to know – 1st whether he can fit
in a whole set of teeth where the gums are small
found clear of stumps and sollid and confine
them so that in time they will ^feel^ natural and

comfortable and answer the purpose for common
mastifications — 2nd what is the process and the
value of setting Teeth by the atmospheric pressure
3rd what would be the expense of putting in a set
in a small mouth where precautions can be
made use of to render them easy comfortable and
usefull — The patient is advanced in years lost
good teeth by being deceived into an improper use
use of Calomel and as is at times subject to
an irritating cough— I am disposed to ask an-
other in this matter — If my voice in speaking
and reading together with the carefull use
of mastification can be restored I shall I should
stress it an object — If convenient to make these
enquiries you will do me a favour
Affectionably yours Saml S Seward
