My dear Father
I intended to
answer the letter from
you which I was so glad
to receive much sooner than
this – but I have been so
hurried in getting ready to
go to Tarrytown that I
have not done so –. Friday
evening Mr Wasson
here, he was just about to
start for Washington –
all were out but I.
Will came home last even-
ing – He had much to
tell us of you all – I was
glad he left you recovered
from your illness –

Tomorrow morning at seven
we leave – Mr Pomeroy
to start for Washington
at the same time, so we
have his company as far
as Albany when he takes
the Harlem Railroad
and we the Hudson River
Railroad. We expect to
return Saturday.
Will brought ^one^ in his valise
some very pretty mottoes,
I suppose you brought
them home from dinners –
and thank you very much
for remembering your little
girl. Mr Sanford
me a copy of “ Thomas
A’ Kempis”
glad to possess.
I have not much time
for writing tonight, So
with much love from
