My dear Henry
Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
and Anna
Birth: 1836-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
came Thursday noon
and will remain
with us through this
week – then they
go with Mrs Wharton
Birth: 1812-10-29 Death: 1889-10-09
to Niagara Falls for
a day or two previous
to returning to Albany
Fred’s affairs do not
get arranged satisfacto-
rily yet – The plan
for Auntys
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
house is about completed – she
has not succeeded in
seeing Mr Brown
Birth: 1805-04-19 Death: 1886-01-20
yet – Dennis
Birth: 1827
came from the midden
Thursday having com-
pleted that work –
I gave him a check
of $52 to pay the men –
As the gas is to be
brought into the house
this week and some
other things to be done
which will require
some attention from
me I have deferred
my visit to Mrs
Cary
Birth: 1787-08-11 Death: 1863-06-22
until nextweek – We had
a fine shower last
night – the
day is cool & pleasant –
The last of the lillies
(the Tiger) are now
in flower – you will
miss them all –
Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
writes that his assistant
Unknown
is sickand he will not be
able to come home
to stay more than
one day at present –
I shall feel greatly
relieved when you
can get away from
Washington – it is
now two weeks to
the adjournment –
Your own Frances
