My dear Mr. Seward.
I am sorry to say that
father
Birth: 1814-06-16 Death: 1893-08-23
returned from Baltimore
quite ill last evening, and has
had a high fever all night. He
is more comfortable now, but not
able to leave the house, scarcely his bed.
Mrs Grosvenor
Birth: 1825 Death: 1884
and Mrs
Brigham
Birth: 1793 Death: 1869-04-12
are both going to church
this morning. Hattie
Birth: 1850-03-05 Death: 1925-07-27
is quite fatigued
from her little journey of yesterday,
and I must of course stay with
father.
Rather a poor premise for
recruits for your drive, and
I hope you will find some
one else, it is so lovely a day.
Wishing you a pleasant drive.
I am yours affectionately
Olive Risley.
Hon. Willian H. Seward.
