My dear Father,
I am afraid you did not
get my letter about the little
Theatre – so I write again.
When you come home from Wash-
ington I suppose you will go to New
York. Please look at some fancy-
or toy stores and get me “The Juv –
inile Theatre.” it comes in a box
10 or 11 fe inches square. The box
and all is paper. inside are about
20 small poppets with wire to move
them by – and wooden stands to set
them in. there are back and side
secenes. a paper curtain and small
play book to speak from e
Mother
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
wishes me to have it.
Please look for it.
Excuse my writing as I am very tired
and please give me an answer in
my your next letter to Mother –
we both hope you will say “yes.”
Your affectionate daughter
Fanny Seward
William H. Seward.
