Washington Monday 12th
My dear Sister,
Augustus
obtained an interview with Prof. Bache
and learned his destination – he is to
go the latter part of this month with
a company to some part of the Chesepeake
he thinks the southern part – from there
the company go this Summer on the
Hudson River, probably as early as June –
He may from there be able to go home
for a day but that is uncertain, he
will at least be where we can go and see
him – Now the question is where we had
Clara
could come immediately I should say
come here now as he may be here
two weeks yet – & I want Clara to
come some time – I shall probably
come down in the course of the Summer
and then if Clara would come it
would be equally pleasant & she

might also visit Pittstown – I have
said nothing to her about Pittstown
as I did not wish her to be decided
by that or by the circumstance that
Augustus himself thinks it would
be more pleasant for her to come &
see him on the Hudson – There is so
much uncertainty attending delay
that I believe wherever she is willing
to come, is the best time. Will
you decide and let me know.
Mr Schoolcraft
as soon as he expected he may
go the last of this week and
may wait until after the Whig
Caucus which is postponed until
a week from tomorrow – What is
the prospect of your coming with
or without Clara – I want very much
to see you somewhere – Augustus
seems pleased with his arrangements for
the summer – he is a dear good child
I enclose a letter of the Tribune correspondent
Mr Pike
