My dearest Frances,
I have your letter of
Saturday and I trust that Fanny
has by this time surmounted the
throat disease which confined her
so uncomfortably when the letter
was written.
Anna
Frederick
I am looking out to be at home
about Christmas—when I hope
to find you all much better.
your own
Henry,
