Dear Brother Henry
As my health has been
very poor for the last three
months I have one request
to make of you The Vault
is in a very dilapitated con-
dition I would like to take
the remains of my Wife
Birth: 1805-07-15 Death: 1848-05-14
and
her three Children
Birth: 1839-06
Death: 1843-09-26
Birth: 1834-02
Death: 1836-05-11
Birth: 1830-04
Death: 1835-11-22
them in a lot that I paid
for in our new Cemetery
Enclosing the Vault.
In view of doing this I hope
you will not think it presu-
mtious in me ^if^ ask of you to
request Mr Grier
Birth: 1802-09-27 Death: 1878-12-20
to advance
the money say one hundred
Dollars for the above purpose.
As he says the Books are clos-
ed for some time I would like
to do it very soon.
Mrs Jayne
Birth: 1828 Death: 1905
is quite sick,
the rest of our Friend are us-
aly well your Loving & Affte
Brother Edwin P Seward
Hon W m H Seward
