Dear Mrs. Seward,
I was sorry to hear
you were suffering from head ache
last evening. I hope you are free
of it today and that you & Gov.
Seward
will find it convenient to take
tea with us
I have been sorry to delay
our invitation to you so long, but
we have had so much the odor
of fresh paint about us I feared
we could not make a visit to us
agreeable. I know you will
not estimate our desire to see you
all by the tardiness of our request.
A verbal answer by the hour
will be correctly given. Will you allow
your daughter to return with her

children?
Respectfully & affectionately
Your sincere friend
Abby E. Hall.
