Wednesday Sep Editorial note-The 23rd was a Thursday in 1852, so this was likely the 22nd.23rd
My dear Sister,
If I thought my head would
ache any less to day morrow than it
does to day I would defer visiting
but I have no reason to suppose it
will as it has not for three days
past – I have your letter this morning
I presume by this time you are
less lonely than when you first went
home– I have not seen Clara
to day– Henry
this morning, as I was obliged to go
out to do some shopping– Clara says
she continues to take the medicine you
left and that she is quite well
again though I thought she looked
rather pale. I went also to see
Caroline Seward
last night– he left Caroline with
Mary Jayne
of Augustus
not able to speak with him– I
had a letter from Augustus this
morning– he was then at Peekskill
said I might write to Sing Sing

that he should be home in the
course of a month– Fred
expect Saturday– I have a Commonwealth
to send you but for the want of
energy it has not been sent– I
have also a Tribune with Greeley
on Women's Rights–keep both if
you care for them–The Consortia
are in session to day– I hope that
they will not adopt the Baltimore
Platform but presume they will.
Weed
in to days Times the extract from
an English paper on the Fisher’s &
Seward– I will write you again when
I feel better. Nicholas
looking for a house– Fanny

garden– I have been interrupted
twice with calls–
Your own Sister–
