Thursday morning.
My dear Henry,
I have two kind letters from
you. Lazette
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
came over yesterday – Grandpa
Birth: 1772-04-11 Death: 1851-11-13

has been very impatient to have her come
I have a dress maker
Unknown
at present which
in addition to house cleaning keeps me
continually occupied – my school taking
three hours of each morning – I have a
mason
Unknown
plastering the upper room in the
tower and a carpenter
Unknown
making a door –
Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
is endeavoring to exterminate some
of the caterpillars which threaten to destroy
all the trees and shrubs in the garden –
It is a dull morning – the wind due east
which may be some apology for a dull
short letter – I think Fred is inclined
to go to Canandaigua should you approve
as he there has promise of business after
he is admitted – it would be a great
comfort to have him so near home –
your own
Frances

on the subject – it is a handsome compliment
the person

who has the picture is still in
the city – Lazette admires the picture
very much
