Auburn Wednesday morning 27
My dearest Henry,
I have this morning received your
letter from Albany. As there is a letter here for
you which Worden wishes to have forwarded immediately
I will direct to Albany. There is also a letter from
Alvin Plumb which I do not think it necessary to send
but will copy one sentence "A.H.T. is much engaged
in the interest of F.G. the reasons which he urges are
his (F.G.) relations to the party in times past, and the
political effect if not nominated, these reasons are cal-
culated to make an impression and their force is no
way diminished when enlarged upon by T____"
How inexpressivly base and contemptible T___'s conduct
must appear to all who know the motive which really
influences him. I am thankful dearest that your
magnanimity places you beyond the reach of such
malice. We are all well–I have been ironing
three hours this morning which I have not been able
to do before in seven years–you see how well I am.
Of course we have no maid yet–have had two engaged
one Irish and one a lady of colour–both disappointed
me. We talk of going to Camillus Friday–I hope
Mrs Cary's ill health is not the occasion of her
not favouring me with her company. Love to Uncle
and the Weeds. your own Frances.
