My dear Jennings,
It is reduced to a certainty that
I can negotiate the entire payment of the debt
to the Holland Company. What remains now is
to decide upon the cheapest and most expeditious
mode. Addressing myself to this question, I am
proceeding slowly and carefully. I am like
to be detained here until after the middle of
next week. Pray let me hear from you by letters
addressed to Auburn. It is more than a fortnight
since I have heard from Chautauqua.
I hope you will have seen
our dear parents.
Ever faithfully your's
W.H. Seward.
B.J. Seward Esq.
