My dearest Henry
Do you think it
best for Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
to go to Washington? She wishes
it very much – She
has made good progress
in her studies this
Winter and is entitled
to a vacation – Will
she be safe in Washington?
Is there no danger of
the communication between
Washington & Baltimore
being again interrupted –
I have many fears
about you all –
I sent by Express
Saturday a packet
containing such Summer
clothing as I find here –
If there are any coats
I cannot separate them
from Will’s
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
— You left a large number in
Europe the summer you
were there—
You may have forgotten
that I mentioned
when you went away last
winter that you would
need a new supply
of linen shirts for
this summer – I
proposed that you should
speak for them in New
York – These had
better be purchased now.
I send the only
two which were left
here—
Mrs Smith
Birth: 1800 Death: 1861-06-23
died yesterday at 11 oclock –
I have been with her
much of the last week –
She died gently at
last –Will be
buried Wednesday—
We are all as well
as usual – Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
stays with her
mother
Birth: 1812-03-30 Death: 1893-11-13
— May God protect
you all
your own
Frances
