Dear Henry
Fanny
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
is quite
well again to day — but I
told her I would write to

of the proceedings at Wash-
ington and are in a high
state of exaultation that
Gerrit Smith
Birth: 1797-03-07 Death: 1874-12-28
has made
such a noble commencement
of his Congressional
career —

Little Fanny has just
been in & says “give my
love to Father — in which
we all join —
Yours most faithfully
