Albany, Jan 2d 1861
My dear Father,
  If you desire it,
I will come on as soon as I can
make some temporary arrangement
to supply my place on the paper.
I suppose it will be best not
to do anything with reference to
permanent absence, or in regard to
shutting up my house, since that
would indirectly reveal your purposes.
I will come back afterwards to
arrange these things.
If we can find a reporter
to take Dawson’s
Birth: 1813-03-14 Death: 1883-02-17
place in the

Assembly, he will take mine in
the office. It may take a few
days to do this — You will
probably see Mr Weed
Birth: 1797-11-15 Death: 1882-11-22
in two
or three days. He is now arranging
to come on.
Affectionately your son
Frederick
