This letter is attached to a letter from Lucy Standart (Watson) Bostwick to Augustus H. Seward, September 19, 1869Auburn Sept 22d
My dear Gus
I will add a few words
to Lue's
see Aunty
very well and feeling very happy
that she had been able to knit
a few stitches yesterday, she had
just received a letter from Fred
written in San Francisco on their
return from Alaska I suppose you
have seen by the papers that they
are to start on the 30th for Mexico
Fred says the curiosities will soon
begin to arrive, among others an
Alaska Eagle and an Esquimaux
dog, won't they be nice? particularly
as the dog is said to have all the
vices of the fox, and none of the
virtues of the dog (as Fred writes) –
All the friends
Will
until tomorrow or next day —
