M Auburn March the 9
Dear Lazette,
I have received both of your letters and your nice
present [ . ] I intended to have written to you before this and told you
that I had received the caps and am very much obliged to
you for them[ . ] I have not seen any made like the dress caps here[ . ]
I like it very much though I have not been out lately to see
much of the fashion[ . ] I yesterday went with Mrs. Miller to see Mrs
Christopher Morgan she is staying at her fathers afew
days she looks as though she felt the loss of her little boy
very much[ . ] I felt very sorry for her[ . ] Mrs Pitney made many
enquires about you when you was coming out again she
was very much dressed but she looked as though she
was all of sixty[ . ] we then went to see Mrs. Fosgate she
has been quite sick but had got better she gave us quite a doleful
account of their all being sick there[ . ] the too Blanchards had
been very sick Mary and Margaret and there Mother had not
been so bad but had been sick[ . ] I began to think that other people
had quite as much trouble as we had[ . ] as for your father he has
got quite well so that he goes out twice aday sometimes
sometimes he has his meals taken up in the North Room and

then lies down on the sette and takes asleep has a fire
built there for him[ . ] it was rather unacountable why he would
not go to Albany with Underwood he made me think of the
man that Mrs. Trolep told of at the South that would not not
accept a pardon when he was going to be hung[ . ] he had been talking
of going to Albany and as I thought was waiting for a good opertuni ^t^ y
to go[ . ] I was very much rejoiced when Underwood came
thought that was all that was -wanted[ . ] Adaline told him
in the morning that Mrs Seward expected him back with
Mr Underwood he said he would not go in a [ fortnit ] if he did
then it [ appeard ] to put astop to his goin he had told Mrs Miller
that he was going that week so I have told you all that I knew
about I doubt very much whether he goes atall I dont know how
I shall get even get his Room cleaned if he does not go
or any of the House[ . ] I have had rather a dreary winter the best
and easyest part of the winter was when you was here but
I will not trouble you with my affairs any more[ . ] Mary says
I must tell you that our poor tommy is dead he was
sick too on three days we tryed to get him to take
catnip tea but it all did no good ^we felt quite bad^ [ . ] poor tom died Mary
thinks you and Frances will feel very bad she says
you was so very fond of him and john looks very bad
to us now he is not handsom nor and thing that is good

I had a letter from Frances this week and your father
had one from Augustus but there was nothing new I shall be glad
when Augustus comes home it seams as though he had been gone
a year Caroline Smith has not been here since she returned from
your House nether have I been there but I will see her soon and tell
her Mrs Horner has lost her daughter at Detroit Mrs Bronson
and Mrs Barton is very sick not expected to live I have
heard I have not seen any of them since I heard the news
you must not make much calculation about having Maria
reports are very unfavorable about her they say that [ she ]
is going to be a mother[ . ] I dont know whether it is true or
not I have not seen her in some time but I thought it [ mite ]
be true[ . ] Mrs Fernando Wood has returned to her fathers to
stay till after... which is expected to take place next
month Mr Wood is going to return to Wasington and then
come back home again before the great even happens
Mrs Hills has not had her great Party yet but she has had
a part of young people and a few Married ladies has got a new
Piano had music and dancing Sarah was invited and
went she is going home next week[ . ] give my love to Frances
tell her I have not seen Hair Bolter lately

Friday I intended to have sent this to-day but you father said
this morning that he should go to Albany tomorrow Mr Underwood
was going down and wanted he should go but he did not exactly
know whether he should go I have been all day geting things
ready he has just came in and says he is not going
I will not send this untill morning I think by that time I shall
finde out whether he goes or not I have not seen Mrs Rite in
some time[ . ]
I had like to forgot to put my
name to this letter[ . ] I suppose you would know who it
was from if I had not
Clarinda Miller
McClallen send his respects to you and Frances and says I must
tell you that he should like to have you take dinner with
him he has got a wild Goose you know I am not much in favour of
^wild game^
do come out as soon as you can if you do not go to Albany you
must come so that you can stay till she comes that Mrs Seward comes Home
it seams she alonge time to me since you was here -I shall
ecpect you and Frances early in April you must let me
know what time[ . ] Mrs Muir has got a young Daughter
