Letter from Frances Miller Seward to Augustus Henry Seward, October 16, 1845
Auburn Oct 16th
My dear Augustus,
I was glad to receive
your letter which came two days ago
it is always pleasant to be assured
by your own hand that you are well —
I have forgotten whether I had received
Fred's second letter when I wrote last
to you — he wrote very cheerfully
and I presume has recovered from his
homesickness as it is now more than
two weeks since I have heard from him
The freshman class at Union College
is always very small most of the
students there enter sophmore — I think
Fred said it was larger than usual
this term — West Point must look
charmingly at this season of the year
I am glad to see you admire Au-
tumn scenery — it is indicative of a
healthy turn of mind — Some years
ago when I was so long ill and
my mind in a morbid state I saw
no beauty in the falling leaf no
matter how bright its colour–
Now I see things differently and think
[top Margin]
Your Father goes to Albany Monday — perhaps to
Florida—
