My dear Mother
I have been so busy
that I have not had time to write
before. Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
returned from N.Y.
a week since where she left Mrs B.
Birth: 1832-04-27 Death: 1903-12-20
& Charley
Birth: 1859-01-03 Death: 1873-06-07
as yet he (Charley) hadrecd no rececptiable benefit although
many Doctors had been consulted.
I go to Albany & perhaps New York
to night or tomorrow and shall
be home again on Wednesday.
Your letters to Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
have all been read with much interest by
us at home although we are all
sorry you have so many stairs
to go up & down. I hope Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
willkeep well during the winter.
Our housekeeping progresses finely
and I believe Jenny is much pleased
with her new girl

, our new stoveheates both dining room & Libary.
As yet I hear nothing from Mac
Birth: 1839-09-14 Death: 1914-05-24
on the 75th Regt although I think
I shall hear this week.
If I should go to New York
I shall be there on Tuesday and
If you want me for any thing
in particular you can telegraph
me at the Astor House and
I can go to Phil.
Love to Fanny
Your affectionate son
Will
P.S.
Dr Bennett

of Canaudaigua
sends me a bill of $12 "for visit
to Auburn" rather expensive having
nerveous cousins.
