Friday Nov 22 d
My dearest Henry
I enclose a
sketch of your life
from the “London
Review” you may
not see it as the
Reviews all come

other Biographies it
contains some truth
and some error–
I think it is written
by an Englishman
Unknown

We have a bright
November day–

She is a little
homesick and is about
to walk up to her
house this morning–
Our garden & grounds
are at last ready
for Winter– Jerry
the Gardner has
gone– Our preparations
for Winter are drawing
to a close– Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
