Saturday,
My dear Father,
I have no
letter from you this morning, and
I see by the Times that you
have gone to Auburn on account
of Fanny’s
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
illness. Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
had a
note from her yesterday in which
she spoke of having been unwell
and said that Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
had

written, though we had not received
the letter. I fear you have heard
that she is worse. I have sent
a telegram to Auburn and hope
to have an answer in the course
of the day.
Governor
Birth: 1811-02-08 Death: 1883-02-14
& Mrs. Morgan
Birth: 1810-12-10 Death: 1885-03-26
, Mr
Bancroft
Birth: 1800-10-03 Death: 1891-01-17
and Samuel Blatchford
Birth: 1820-03-09 Death: 1893-07-07

came to dinner yesterday. Today
Mr
Birth: 1822-06-11 Death: 1889-09-28
& Mrs. Sturgis
Birth: 1827-12-01 Death: 1915-07-04
. The air continues
pleasant and we have been
spending most of the day on the
beach or the roads, and the

evenings on the verandas.
Affectionally yours,
F.W.S.
