Auburn, May 25th. 1862
My dear Father
I was very glad
to receive your letter which
came yesterday, and much inter-
ested in what you wrote about
Virginia, it must be a very
melancholy
Not placable; not to be appeased; incapable of being pacified; stubborn or
constant in enmity • Incapable of being relieved or quieted; inextinguishable •
sight in these days.I hope the trip did you good,
and wish you had a better
opportunity of of resting from
its fatigues.
We have another pleasant
Sunday, Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
has beenhere all day. Yesterday
with two fo my friends I
walked up to the lake, we
spent the afternoon in the
woods, and at five o'clock
William
Unknown
brought us home in the carriage. I gathered a
large bouquet of wild-flowers.
Yesterday, just after break-
fast Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
and I had a shortride, he rode one of the black
horses and I one which he is
to keep a month while his is
in pasture, it was a capital
riding horse. I think we may
try some rides before breakfast.
I will try my best to keep
the tulips and lilacs, and
if they won't stay can
promise you something as
beautiful in roses and lilies
in June, when I hope very
much that you may be
able to get a vacation and
come to us.
I have sent to Mr Derby
Birth: 1818 Death: 1892
for some french reading, when
that comes I think I shall
be able to keep from forgetting
what I have learned of the
language. I have finished
Physiology, and am studying
Moral Philosophy and Rhetoric,
