Editorial Note

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
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
has gone away
to New York. Are you very
^lonesome^ without Uncle Gus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
? so am I
I want him to come to see
me very soon.

Mama
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
went away to New
York and she brought me a
little bell and a beautiful
little chandelier with little
red candles on it. Willie
Birth: 1864-11-10

sends his love to you.
Grandpa, Mary Standart
Birth: 1849 Death: 1868-02-02
is dead,
she died last Tuesday
Mama brought me a beautiful
canary bird, his name is Brownie
and he sings very sweetly
It is snowing very hard today
I send you a great many kisses
and love to. Goodbye
Your little
Nelly –
Feb 9th 1868
