Wednesday
My dearest Henry
Mrs. B. F. Hall
Birth: 1821-04-04 Death: 1896-07-07

came yesterday to ask
if you had written
any thing about the
Consulship of British
America for which
her husband
Birth: 1814-07-23 Death: 1891-09-06
is an
applicant – They had
seen a notice in some
paper that Joshua A
Giddings
Birth: 1795-10-06 Death: 1864-05-27
was an applicant
for the same –
I could not answer any
of the numerous questions

she asked me satisfactorily
– such as how the
nominations were made
&c &c – Of course
they assume as all do
that you are the control-
ling power –
I hope they will not
kill you –
your own
Frances
