My dear Son
This letter will
be handed you by William
Robinson
Birth: 1834-06-18 Death: 1921-10-21
, a son of the Dr
Birth: 1804-02-04 Death: 1889-07-28
who goes to Washington
to apply for the situation
of Physician ^for his father^ in the
Government Hospital at
Honolulu – I have
written more particularly
to your father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
–Any aid
you can give William
will be appreciated –
He knows nothing of the
form of application necessary
I do not expect
very soon to write to
you on any subject
but offices –
Benjamin F. Sanford
Birth: 1818-01-22 Death: 1883-07-21
our attached friend
wants the Collectorship
at Cincinnati –
At the suggestion of
Charles Briggs
Birth: 1813 Death: 1887-08-07
Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
was to write to you
in behalf of Charles
Warden
Birth: 1833-07-10 Death: 1883-08-30
Ethan’s
Birth: 1803-10-21 Death: 1861-03-22
elder son who has not
the means of supporting
his wife
Birth: 1835-06 Death: 1902-08-29
and
mother
Birth: 1804-06-10 Death: 1883-12-18
A very small salary
would be acceptable
to him if he could
obtain a clerkship –
Will may have forgotten
to write as he went
to New York the day
after the funeral of
Ethan – and he has not
yet returned.
Give my love to Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
– I did not sleep last
night from Fannys
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
illness and am consequently
very dull to day
God bless you
Mother –
