Department of State
Washington, Sept 18 1866
My dear Jenny
Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10

had a good night and
is stronger this morning
Dr Norris
Birth: 1828-03-09 Death: 1895-11-10
thinks if he has
as good a night to night
he will be out of danger
If such be the case
I shall start for home
via New York tomorrow night
reaching Auburn probably on
Friday morning. I don't
recollect whether I mentioned
it before but Fathers illness
was an undoubted attack of

cholera, so desperate
at Harrisburgh that
there was no hope of
his recovery. Harriet
Birth: 1819-02-06 Death: 1893-11-01
will
remain until Father is well
again. Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
has been
remarkably well since she
arrived and I hope the
beautiful weather we find
here will do her good. She
gives up her Western trip for
the present. Mary Grier
Birth: 1839-09-05 Death: 1930-06-04

is here and will stay with
Fanny until next week
Mr Weed
Birth: 1797-11-15 Death: 1882-11-22
& Harriet return
to New York to night
Love to all, Your
Will
The Doctor (Robinson)
Birth: 1830-06-24 Death: 1891-04-27
will
return with me
