My dear Son,
You cannot imagine
how much I am relieved
by your letter this morn-
ing – I was becoming
very anxious to hear

that you were here

to Martin Smith
Birth: 1799-03-19 Death: 1868-12-16
's it was the first fine
day we had had
we stayed all night
and awoke in the
morning to find the
ground covered with
2 inches of snow —
however, it was not
so much colder as
to make our ride
home unf uncomfortable.
Since then it has
rained or snowed
every day —
Your Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
camehome from Saratoga
last night for a few
days – probably his
last visit before
going to Washington –
Fanny had a
little party last night
in consideration of
the wedding.
Fred is engaged in
pruning trees and
superintending the
building of a summer
house – Willie
went with us to
the lake with pony
and a gun, with
which I was continually
afraid he would
shoot himself or us
as he insisted upon
riding with it loaded
Aunt Clara
Birth: 1793-05-01 Death: 1862-09-05
is wellbusily engaged preparing
for Winter —
Abbey
Birth: 1822 Death: 1895-09-16
goes home sometime this week –
Our family will
continue gradually
to diminish for
two or three weeks
to come – All send
love to you — May
God preserve you
Mother —
