Auburn Thursda 10th
My dear Henry,
I was very ill
on Sunday a spasmodic
affection of the heart – I
am much better now and
intend coming to you next
week – I have written to Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25

to come up Saturday – I
intend leaving Tuesday – shall
be at Washington Saturday
I think – but I will write
again – Lazette
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
has just
received a letter from Canandai-
gua
saying Frances
Birth: 1826-12-12 Death: 1909-08-24
is ill she
goes home immediately –

I fear you are not well
and am sorry your business
is so pressing – I was
glad to see your resolution
about Kossuth
Birth: 1802-09-19 Death: 1894-03-20
– The previous
proceedings of congress disgrace
a civilized community –
I am not in favor of provoking
a war with either Austria
or Russia but I do not
see that common courtesy
to an invited guest invokes
that consequence – How
immeasurably most great
minds lessen as we grow
older – I should think
such conduct reprehensible

in a party of girls of 16 –
Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
sends a birth day
kiss – she was 7 years old
yesterday – your own
Frances
