My dear Augustus,
We were glad to hear
from you last night through a letter to
Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
– It seems longer than three weeks
since you left and we yet miss you
very much – Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
is better though
she still keeps her room – yesterday
for the first time in twelve days she
went out to drive – She has suffered
terribly with that wound which is still
very painful though improving – Fred
presented the squirrel to Mr De Zeng
Birth: 1793-03-16 Death: 1882-08-15
Clarence's
Birth: 1828-10-07 Death: 1897-07-24
father in law, – & yesterday he
sent to take it home – We all feel re-
lieved when it was fairly out of the
house – Miss Martin
Birth: 1846-11-29 Death: 1870-03-29
is here yet – I dont
know but she came before you left – She
& Father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
go out to receptions two or three
times a week – & are quite gay –
Things are rather “mixed” here with you
& Anna both away – but we get along
better than I expected we would when
you left – We miss you every where – partic-
ularly at the Whist table evenings –
Dan. Donaldson

has nearly finished
the construction of the passage out
of the parlor window & over the top
of the piazza – it looks as formidable
as the suspension bridge at Niagara
but it will be a means of escape
When Vosburg next sets the house on
fire – Which I think he will do by &
by as he perseveres in carrying a
lighted taper all over the house –
Anna wants me to say that she will send you –
a bundle of clothes you left - & a pair of
slippers, Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
sent ^you^ for a Christmas present
a short time after you left – as soon as
she is able to get them together –
I am going home early next week – Katy's
Birth: 1837 Death: 1878-04-08Certainty: Probable
time having expired a week ago – as
I cannot make do without her I must go
when she does –
Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
and Jenny are still in N. York.
They expect to go home this week – Will
was here to spend Sunday – came early in
the morning & left the same evening –
All wish to be kindly remembered to
you – & hope you will be able to come
here by & by –
Your affectionate
Aunty –
