Astor House.
Tuesday morning –
My Dear Uncle.
I write in accordance with
your request; We reached Philadelphia on
Sunday morning, about one o'clock; The day
was a very pleasant one, & rather more quiet
than usual for so large a place; We came here
on Friday Evening; The weather here, is like
Spring – very much more mild than I expected
to find it; Mr Matteson
noisy as ever; Mr Weed
yet this week; I presume he remains at home
to pass Consolidation; I think to go home
to-morrow;
Your affectionate niece
Caroline C. Canfield
