Auburn October 29 th 1861
My dear Father
I was very glad
to receive your letter, also the
one from the Compte de Paris
Birth: 1838-08-24 Death: 1894-09-08

which I had not much trouble
in reading or rather under-
standing – and which I shall
prize very much. Today
Mother
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
has a letter from
Gus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
, and one from Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
en-
closing that of Mrs Adams
Birth: 1808-04-25 Death: 1889-06-06

Last evening the box of Roman
pearls arrived – how hand-
some they are – we have all
been admiring them, and
are rather expecting a letter

from Anna telling us about
them. I suppose she is at
her Mother’s
Birth: 1812-10-29 Death: 1889-10-09
by this time.
Mother is at Pisgah, attend-
ing a meeting of the Sam-
aritan sewing society– Fran-
ces Chesebro
Birth: 1826-12-12 Death: 1909-08-24
is there with Frank
Birth: 1854-02-13 Death: 1931-05-23

and her little adopted neice
Jessie Chesebro
Unknown
.
Wednesday morning.
The tea bell interrupted me
in writing last night. This
morning a is mild and very
pleasant – a flock of birds took
this occasion to go in search
of winter quarters, and passed
with a great deal of twitter-
ing half an hour ago –

Frances goes at two o’clock
today.
With much love from all
Your very affectionate little girl
