A third page of this file was a letter from Janet Watson Seward to William Henry Seward, February 9, 1868. It has been split and made into its own file. My dear Grandpa
I was very
happy to get that letter that
you wrote to me. I would
rather have the dog that you
sent away than the squirrel
that you are keeping now.
When are you coming home?
I am very lonesome without
you. Papa
to New York. Are you very
^lonesome^ without Uncle Gus
I want him to come to see
me very soon.

Grandpa, Mary Standart
