My dear Uncle,
I saw your friend Mr.
Vesey
Birth: 1818 Death: 1885-06-28
in New York a few days ago, he wished me to
say to you that he had sent
to Havre for a cheese & some
Chesnuts for you.
We have glowing accounts
of your reception in the
West. I hope such continued
exertions will not wear
you out. I passed a
most happy Sabbath at
home with Aunty
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
, Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
, and Janet
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
. I should have delayed my visit until
your return home, but I
must be at home to make
preparations for moving into
the City.
God bless you, dear
Uncle, & preserve you long
to us.
Your affectionate niece
Caroline.
