Auburn Sep. 15th–
My dear Son,
I have had your letter

days – during which time I have
been quite ill – am better again –

Father returned yesterday to Orange Co –
having been home a week – he will
remain there two weeks longer − then
he is to go to Saratoga
The 15th of October is the time fixed
for me to commence my journey
to Washington – I think now of
going the Southern route – must
stop often by the way – We have
written to have the house cleaned
and some preparation made − I hope
you will be able to make us a visit
before that time − Uncle Worden

but does not come yet –

in her own house – she is intending
to meet you here – Willie

engaged in building his house and
driving young ladies in the buggy –

Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
is well – she and Aunt Clara
Birth: 1793-05-01 Death: 1862-09-05
send love – I will not write
all that I have to say as I hope
to see you soon – Caroline

daughter of John Richardson

near Norfolk − at this time
May God protect you
