Jany 14. 1868
My dear Fred:
Mr. Traphagen
Birth: 1837-11-29 Death: 1894-10-26
has
handed me a copy of the declaration
in this case with a request that
I would consult with Mr. Brady
Birth: 1815-04-09 Death: 1869-02-09

as to the proper form of a plea
to be put in. This was unsolicited
upon my part. I am not in the
case, but I would like to be for
natural love and affection and
without any further compensation
Will you please ask your father
if he will accept my services
as a volunteer on his behalf
If so I will cheerfully rub my
shoulder to the wheel, as best I
may.
Affectionately yours
C A Seward
F W Seward, Esquire
