Mourning stationery dates it after June 21, 1865,
when Frances Miller Seward died. Content suggests August 11 rather than June 1865. July 14 Frances Adeline Seward
comments that she is glad Frederick is writing again (after his injury). These
letters also discuss the heat of August that Clarence Armstrong Seward refers to. Clarence also states that
his eyes don’t allow him to use ink in an Aug. 9 letter. However, Frederick best dates
the letter. August 10 Frederick writes to William Henry Seward about consulting a doctor and returning
from Cape May where he is staying with Fanny. Frederick returns to Washington D.C. the next Wednesday
Therefore, the preceding Friday seems like the correct date for this letter.
Friday PM.
