My dear Mother,
We are just in
the middle of our inventory and
consequently very busy’ the prospect
is that we shall not finish much
before the 1st of next month.
I have been this evening to Dr
Haynes
Unknown
lunch’ “he” is thought here’
to be a very fine speaker’– as there
no doubt he is but it seemed to me
as though his manner of speaking was
better fitted for the stage than the
pulpit.
I have not seen Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
&
Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
since last Sunday when I
was up there to call’ Fred tells
me that he shall try
and go up home during the
holidays; I do not think that
I shall be up again very soon but
perhaps before I you go to Washington
have you decided yet when that
is to be?
Are you sure that Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
did
not leave his ^my^ overcoat at home? I
think he told me he did.
I had a call last week from
Mr Allen
Birth: 1804-01-05 Death: 1881-10-10Certainty: Possible
of Auburn he came
down to the Rail Road Convention
Love to Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
& allUnknown Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
Your affectionate son
Will
PS
I opened the barrel of
apples the other day and found
them very nice indeed.
I think I left a pair of black
pants in my closet at home
which will answer to work in,
if you find them I would like
to have you send them to me
I find that my stove fire &c have
cost me so much lately that I
am too poor to buy clothes, but
I have one satisfaction and that is
in thinking that last week I paid
up all my bills which I left in Auburn
or rather the last of them with the
exception of the Dentist
