My dear Son,
I am very glad
to get Father's and
your letters which
indicate an improving
state of affairs at
Washington – If Eliza
could be put on
the cars at Baltimore
for Elmira I think
she could come
alone – Aunt Clara's
Birth: 1793-05-01 Death: 1862-09-05

girl has gone and
she needs Eliza.

I write in answer
to another letter from
Mrs. Warden
Birth: 1804-06-10 Death: 1883-12-18
about
her son Charles
Birth: 1833-07-10 Death: 1883-08-30

that you will
do all you can
for him in the
way of a situation
is this right? –
I will write
more when free
from pain which
I am not now
God keep you all
Mother
