Wednesday night
My dear Henry
I have delayed
writing until a late hour
that I might tell you
how Father
day – Altogether he has
appeared better than any
day since I came – He
sat up more than half
an hour last evening
and as long this morning –
This afternoon he has talked
considerably and rationally
about the people in Auburn –
The Dr
say he is no worse

he does not think this
improvement will be per-
manent – I will write
again tomorrow – You
do not know how lonely
I felt last night –
Your room looked so
deserted that I did
not like to go in it –
Fanny
Pray take care of yourself –
& Dieu vous garde –
Your own
