My dear Father
We were all aston-
ished enough when Nicholas
Birth: 1801-12-24 Death: 1893-02-15
made his appearance Friday
night– He says an Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
thought of coming home
this week.
Mother
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
has been to Rochester
to see Kate Huson
Birth: 1825 Death: 1898
– everybody there is very kind to her– Rob-
ert Miller
Birth: 1818 Death: 1889-02-10
was there, and had already helped her very much–
nine
Unknown
of the Huson family were there also– but not, I believe,
proposing to do anything for
her. Perhaps they are not able–
I have been to church today–
it was very cold– Before church
Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
and I drove up to the barracks with some
comforters and blankets– the
receipts of the last two days
at Corning Hall– yesterday
Sarah How
Birth: 1843 Death: 1863-08-10
and I spent the day there, to take them in.
The barracks are very good
ones , and the parade ground
a fine one– though muddy
from late heavy rains.
I hope Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
is
regain- ing his health. Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
is be-
ginning to talk of exchang-
ing his crutches for a cane
soon–
The Carys

Death: 1869-06-20
Thursday–
All send much love–
Your affectionate little girl
