My dear Son,
I put up Augustus’
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
application very carefully
with some papers relating
to Mr How’s
Birth: 1816-02-24 Death: 1883-03-24
business when Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
first went to Washington & put
them by his direction
in a packet of other
papers which he took
with him — They were
labeled on the outside
I have a copy of
the application which
he sent me from
Santa Fe – if you
do not find the
other I will send
this —
The Journal this
morning gives a sad
account of the
devastation occasioned
by the rising of
the River — I feared
this when a large
body of snow which
fell last week has
so soon melted by the rain —
I have heard nothing
from Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
this week
hope her moving
was completed before
the flood —
Frances
Birth: 1826-12-12 Death: 1909-08-24
& Miss Rankin
Birth: 1811 Death: 1888Certainty: Possible
came over to attend
an Assembly Tuesday
and returned yesterday
Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
is at Aunt Clara’s
Birth: 1793-05-01 Death: 1862-09-05
to day — Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
& I are busy with lessons
God bless you
Mother —
Frederick
