been to Iowa to see Mary’s
Unknown – Polydore looks
well – Having other connec-
tions with them they returned
to the hotel last evening –
were here again this morning
until time for the cars –
expect to reach Florida tomorrow
I read over the address
for myself yesterday
(Lazette
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
read it for me the first time) – and assuming
that you had nothing to do
with it we gave it little
attention – it is a clear
and strong exposition of
the past, present & future
of slavery domination but
certainly not in the least
eloquent, which I suppose
was purposely avoided –
I enclose a letter to Mary
Birth: 1819-11-24 Death: 1854-12-18
with some directions about
furniture – your own
Frances –
