5 November 1870 • Buffalo, N.Y. (MS: CSmH, UCCL 00525)
Livy is doing pretty well—doctor says t Ⓐemendation she may drive a hundred yards every day, but I am a little afraid of it.
I want you back s Ⓐemendation here just as quick as you can get through there at home. Susie will wait till then. Theodore appears to have mysteriously decided not to spend Sunday here—for which I am duly thankful. But he will die if he has to go ten days without seeing Sue. Charley writes me privately that Theodore remarked, when Sue came here, that “every time any of them in Buffalo had the stomach ache his wife had to go up there”—& intimated that he was tired of it. So you see we naturally want to send Sue home to the calf as soon as possible.1explanatory note
Come along here, now, as soon as possible, & prune my manuscript. Don’t delay.
Love to all of you from both of us, & hearty congratulations likewise for Allie, & full sympathy with her in her fair dreams of a fair future.2explanatory note
P. S. I am real sorry I wrote that letter.3explanatory note
