Congress Hall Albany Tuesday evening
June 5. 1849
My Dearest Frances,
We commenced the examination of witnesses this morning
and have been engaged in it all day. I have seen few persons
and learned nothing that would interest you. The public mind
begins to take an alarm about the Cholera. The Governor
you see has issued a Proclamation revising the Board of Health
which has been discussed in the several towns.
I visited Mrs Rufus King
quite annoyed that you did not intend to go to the
convocation and hear your son speak, as she goes to hear
her son-
I took tea at Mr Weeds
the housekeepers. Mrs Weed
Mr Benedict
with me until midnight.
I learn from Philadelphia today
that Judge Kane
patent cause there. I am quite sure that I shall go home
before Saturday. I go tonight to Troy to spend the time
with Mr. Winslow
Love your own Henry
