This letter has been split from a letter written by Frances
Adeline Seward (Fanny) to William Henry Seward on May 25, 1862.My dear
Henry
I wished to send you
a letter which Mrs Gibbons
(Isaac Hoppers
to Mrs Baker
it to Aunty
wishes to keep it awhile
longer — Mrs Gibbons has
strong faith in your humanity
and hopes you will espouse
the cause of the poor negroes
who she says are badly beaten
at Winchester — I am sorry
Gen. Shields
but when the letter comes
I hope you may find time
to read at least a
[right Margin] part of it — Your own Frances —
