My dear Willie,
I received your letter last week but
could not get time to answer it until to day.
John’s conduct is shocking, positively horrid, his
being ‘fraid of the horses might be overlooked
but his grinning like a monkey must be attended
to. It is altogether too serious to be laughed at. The
apples went perfectly safe and are all used up.
I am glad to hear that the canine race are
flourishing at Auburn, though if Carlo is as ferocious
as he was described to me there must have been
several battles between him and the cats. I had
a visit a while ago from a large maltese
cat who entered my window and seated herself
comfortably by the stove. She remained until
the fire began to go out and the room was
getting cold when she took her leave with a
polite meow and jumped out of the window. She
arrived safe at the ground but had a narrow
escape from Dr Nott

the outside. I wish you Tuesday morning as you
ask me to in your letter though I can’t say that
I see the reason of it. Give my love to all the folks
Be a good boy –
Your affectionate brother
Frederick.
