My dear Mother
I went down to
the Depot last ^night^ to meet a young
fellow
Unknown
from syracuse, but instead
of meeting him I found Mrs Whar-
ton
Birth: 1812-10-29 Death: 1889-10-09
there with the two children
Birth: 1850-06-09
Death: 1859-03-13

had just got in on the eight oclock
train and were very hot and dusty
Mrs Wharton told me that you
had been sick for the last few days
which I am very sorry to hear I hope
you are well again by this time
I hear that Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
& Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
are going to the White [ mountings ]
Alternate Text
I should think that they would have
a very nice time it will be a good
thing for Fred, I should
think that you ought to go
with them but I suppose you can-
-not go.
I saw Mr Dawson
Birth: 1813-03-14 Death: 1883-02-17
day
before yesterday and he said that
he did not expect Fred down in
some time yet, so I suppose he
will not be very likely to come
very soon.
It has been very warm here for
the last few days and to day
it is too warm to do any thin[ g ]
Supplied
all, it is the warmest day we have
had this summer the Thermometer
has stood at ninety most all day
and one time it was ninety five
in the shade.
I wish you would let Willis
Birth: 1830
go
over to Keyes
Birth: 1814 Death: 1893
& Smith
Birth: 1811 Death: 1882
and ask
them if they have sent my Pants
yet, they promised to send them
last Wednesday but they have
not come [ you ]
Alternate Text

somwhat in want of them if
they have not sent them yet I
wish that you would let Willis
get them and send them to me
