Auburn December 16th 1850
Monday evening
My dear Aunty,
I begin to fear, from your long silence
that you are unwell. I hope it is not so. I wrote
immediately on receiving your letter to Aunt Clara
Birth: 1793-05-01 Death: 1862-09-05
,rather more than two weeks ago, but perhaps
my letter may have miscarried and you have been
waiting to hear from us – We are all very well
and engaged in our usual occupations,
except that the additional one of keeping
warm has engrossed a considerable part of the
time during the last few days. – I had
a letter from Mother
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
yesterday, and atthe same time there came two from "our
travellers
Birth: 1828-10-07
Death: 1897-07-24
Birth: 1826-10-01
Death: 1876-09-11
heard from them since you were here. Their
letters describe their journey up the Rhine,
through Switzerland, across the Alps, and through
the northern part of Italy to Florence, where
they were when they wrote. Their descriptions
of Cologne , Geneva, Lake Leman, Chillon, and
their passage through the mountains are very
entertaining, and I was sorry that you were
not here to see them, but you will yet, un-
doubtedly – The latest news from Washington , I
suppose you have direct from Mother. The
Southern Press that I sent you this morning
came with her letter. The "John Brown
Birth: 1800-05-09 Death: 1859-12-02
correspon-dence" is capital, and all the better for
being in a Southern paper – Are you coming
out soon? We all want to have that
question answered, but not so much to have
it answered, as to have it answered,
affirmatively.
Affectionately yours,
Frederick W. Seward
Mrs L. M. Worden
