My dear Father
I telegraphed
Fred

Birth: 1830-07-08
Death: 1915-04-25
yesterday to know if
you were intending to come
to Auburn soon, meaning
if such was the case to postpone
our carriage trip to N..Y.

as
it would probably not be convenient
or pleasant for you to come home
and find the family all away.
I am obliged to be in N York
about the 10th of June and it
is now our intention if the weather
is fair to start on the 1st. My
business does not permit me
to be out of daily reach of
the telegraph so I shall keep

close enough to the line
of the rail road to get
my dispatches daily.
