Auburn June 9th 1844
My dear Aunt,
Mother
was when you went home. She has been out riding
once. Father’s
Tuesday. Mother thinks she cannot send Willie
him as she has no girl and Abbey
to sew any. There are a great deal of roses out. I
counted sixty-nine on the outside walk of the garden
and there will be five or six times as many more.
Willie spilt nearly a bottle full of camphor on his face
this morning. Mother was afraid it would make his
eyes sore again; but it does not seem to have hurt them
any. Grandpa
another bunch of flowers last night. The following lines
were pinned to a rose-bud.
Would I were a little fly
In this rosebud, I would lie
To see what faces you would make
When you, these posies take!
Mother says she hopes Frances
comes back.
Your affectionate nephew
Frederick.
