Letter written for Willie by Frances M. SewardAuburn
May 10th 1846.
My dear Aunty,
Mother
she is a little sick, and I guess she can’t wean her. She plays
a good deal, as soon as she waked up she nursed She don’t
like custard pie much, she has got tired of it. One Sunday she
had some custard pie and some apple pie that Mother brought
up, Mother went to feed her custard pie, and she put her
finger, on the apple pie, she didn’t want the Custard.
Aunty should you think she would know the differences between
Grandpa’s
of Grandpa’s tumblers on e the kitchen table ‘Grandpas’
Ganpa. She made mother take it up in Grandpa’s rooms.
A girl
was a going to help her to wash the Candlesticks, Eliza
gave her, her apron to wash with; and Fan screamed as loud
as she could, and Bridget had to give it back to Eliza.
Nat
There is another cat comes to see Nat, that I liked to have
catched in the barn today. I hope you will answer my
letter soon
Your affectionate Nephew
William Henry Seward Jr
Mrs Alvah Worden.
