Dear Aunty —
I was very sorry to
hear from Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
that you have not been well.
I fear Aunty you are
troubled about Uncle
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
I think of him so much;
what a trying position
he is placed in, but
what a would the
country do without
him : The Administration
seems a very weak one
therefore so much devolves
upon him: Oh Aunty
how badly I feel that
Clarence
Birth: 1828-10-07 Death: 1897-07-24
is going off – I know I am selfish — but
I looked to him as a
Protector: & I love him
as my brother. & I
cant but feel very
lonely & desolate, with-
out one to go to. &
the great regard Mr
Schoolcraft
Birth: 1804-09-22 Death: 1860-06-07
had for him endears him to
me the most: Poor
Carrie
Birth: 1828-05-22 Death: 1906-12-09
,
she is most unhappy — What do you
hear from Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
: I suppose he must be
on his way home:
How glad I am that
Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
& Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
are in Washington with Uncle:
she can do so much
& make home comfortable
& pleasant for him:
I hope I shall see you
several times this season
I intend to spend the
warm weather in Geneva:
Clarence has found a
Boarding place for
me: The children
Birth: 1860-06-29
Death: 1865-03-18
Birth: 1854-08-05
Death: 1913-05
quite well: I saw Mrs
Winslow
Birth: 1813-08-20 Death: 1861-12-09
last week, she is very weak & feeble
one day better, the
next worse: I cant think
she will ever be well
again: she was so sorry
not to have seen you:
she is as cheerful &
energetic as ever: but
confined almost entirely
to the house: Kind
love to Fannie
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
, & all: Write me, dear Aunty
when you can,
Your affectionate
Carrie —
