Windsor Sept. 7 1815
My Dear Grandmother
I was happy to receive your kind
letter, for you write so seldom that I thought you
would not write to me. I should be delighted to see you at
Windsor and expected you before this, however, I am glad
to hear you are all in good health, and hope I shall
have the pleasure of seeing you so, at the end of this
year, although, I am by no means discontented. It is now
a very unpleasant season, which I suppose makes me
think more of home, though we have many amusements
out of school; a swing, at the bower, which serves for
exercise; and large gardens through which we run. Is
there now a school in the Academy at Auburn? I sh ^o^ uld
be sorry to have my little friends excel me, when I have cost
Papa
and I regret it is so late in the season, as the flowers
are all decaying, and we cannot examine their different parts
as well as if they were in full bloom. I was sorry to hear
that little Fanny Bennet

very much. I hope all of my little mates are well, please to give my
love to them all, Are all of my Cousins well at Romulus? you did
not tell me any thing about them in your letter. Give my love to them likewise,
and Aunt Clara
From your affectionate Grandchild.
Lazette M Miller
Mrs Pollina Miller
P.S. Please to ask Papa’s leave for us to get
bombazett enough for two gowns for each of us Mrs Dunham
desires papa to write to them soon and tell us for we are
in need of them. Mrs Dunham is afraid to get any thing
for us for fear Papa will not like it. I should have writ[ ten ]
Reason:
to papa but I have not time for Mr Pettes
