Newport, Friday
My dear Father,
I have yours of
the 15th, telling me of your arrival
at Washington, and the dinner
to the Queen
Birth: 1836-01-02 Death: 1885-04-25
of Hawaii. I am
glad you were there to entertain
her, but sorry you could not
have a longer respite at
Auburn. Everybody here expresses

much regret that you did not
come here, as they had all
persuaded themselves that you
would.
Affectionately yours
F.W.S.
