My dear Henry,
I this morning
received your letter of the 17th
saying you would not be
home this week – fearing
my letters directed to New
York may not reach you
immediately I write again
this morning to assure
you of the progressive
recovery of our dear little

throat is not entirely well
but her fever is gone and

I hope in a few days she
will be well again –
I am well myself
except that I feel the
effect of the confinement
which will not continue
long – Great caution is
necessary to prevent Fanny
from taking cold and I
do not feel willing to trust
her to the care of any other
person – her relapse must
have been occasioned by cold
in some degree – There was
a report circulated yesterday
that a Telegraph newspaper
communicated the nomination
of John Richardson
Master – We all believed
it for one day – I for one
was much pleased
