Albany
February 12th 1855.
My dear Uncle,
I wish not to be the last to
congratulate you, upon the recent
triumph, of the Whig-Party. Your
reelection to the Senate was received
with great applause in the Capitol
& the firing of cannons announced
the much wished for victory, gained.
The multitudes congregated here
for the occasion, have dispersed,
& Albany is again rather quiet.
John C. Wright's
Birth: 1801 Death: 1862-01-24
appointment as
Collector of New York has excited the
wonder of the Albanians — very
much, because he is universally
known to possess no business talent
whatever. I am most happy to hear
that Aunty's
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
health continues so
good, during this intensely cold
weather. I trust she will so far
recover, as to be able to join you in
Washington, another winter.
Do you ever go to the Convent,
if so remember me kindly to
Sister Bernard
Birth: 1810 Death: 1888-05-03
, I would make
the journey to George Town, purposely
to see her. Shall we see you, in
Albany after the session closes?
Mr Schoolcraft
Birth: 1804-09-22 Death: 1860-06-07
is well, but much
confined to the Bank; My son
Birth: 1854-08-05 Death: 1913-05
grows finely — & I think, shows a
decided tendency to the White House.
Your affectionate niece
C.C. Schoolcraft
The Honorable
William H. Seward
Washington
D.C.
