Canandaigua, October 13, 1851 –
Dear Mrs Seward;
I expected to write you
a short note and send by Mrs. Worden,
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
or atleast that I should have an opportunity to
say to her what it is necessary to write.
It had not occurred to me
but that Greene
Birth: 1802 Death: 1873-09-13
was to be much and almostconstantly in the family at any rate, but even
then I felt the awkwardness of my making
any suggestion whatever upon a subject where
I had so little right to make any suggestion
and none whatever to make a request. Of
course no explanation or statement of reasons
whatever is due from you to me and I would
relieve yourself or Mrs Worden from the necessarily
unpleasant task of making it them.
I am happy in being able
to say that my Mother’s
Death: 1851-10-11
health has been improvingmuch for the past two weeks. I am pleased with
the course marked out by Frederick.
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
It did notmeet my view as entirely best at this time, till I
heard that for a season he was going to engage in
the practice of the Law. Some traits of human nature,
and some facts in the methods of investigation, can
be sooner, if not better, learned in the practice of
the legal profession than in any other manner of
which I am advised. Please remember me to
Frederick when you write him. My love to Willie
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
andFanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
and kind consideration and respect toJudge Miller.
Birth: 1772-04-11 Death: 1851-11-13
Faithfully & Ever,
Myron O. Wilder
Mrs. Seward
