My dear Henry,
Fred
evening and spent Sunday with me. I
wish I could have kept him longer. Lazette
wanted to meet him here, but he says he
will come again soon. I am sorry you
cannot come home this month - the
garden is so pretty. The pear and apple
trees are suffering from blight.
We went to the Universalist Church yesterday
to hear Mr. Mellens
of Hosea Ballou
at our church while Mr. Ayrault
but the church is always opened. Fred and
I drove to the cemetery after church. It is
visited by many persons on Sunday. The
consecration services take place next Saturday.
As your charity is more comprehensive than
mine please tell me the best excuse for
the course of Louis Kossuth
Germans to vote for Peirce
feel at all pleased and many Whigs

are much more dissatisfied than myself.
Taking you and Cass
two different parties it manifests if
not a want of generosity at least a
deficiency of sagacity. That abominable
platform is of course the cause but it seems
to me that Kossuth has been here long
enough and often enough cheated by the
Loco Focos not to rely upon any professions
they may make about intervention.
I think Lazette will come over some time
this week.
Your own
Frances.
