Gov. Throop
Dear Sir,
I presume upon our old acquaintance to make a little demand upon your time and patience. I noticed yesterday when reading the NY Observer that Mr. Brown had a few vacancies in his [??]. You [??] kindly write for my husband concerning James, but the project was then abandoned as his [freed future?] [??] opposed to [??] his leaving home to journey this spring so both feel that [??] much he placed under better instruction my husband has almost been persuaded to send [??] [??] Detroit, but my wishes are to [??] in form of spring side. That I have taken upon myself the responsibility of writing you unbeknown to him while he is absent upon a collecting tour to [Utah?] from his autumn[??] I may be fully [??] and may persuade him if all is favorable to have Jinny there. [??] [??] [??] Can I trouble you to write me whether the number is for [??] [??] and then [??] for me year written [??] limited [??] [??] [??] I hope she may be able to [??] [??] [??] opinion of the [??] and my brother in-law [??] [??] [??] who knew Mr Brown [??] to his [??] [??] Spring-side.
[??] new has transpired since you left us [??] that April instead of bringing us sunshine [??] smiles has been all [??] and [??] stormed-- it seems more like the [??] of winter-- Mr and Mrs. Palmer are still with us. How long they remain is uncertain. Our little [??] seems destined to be in trouble. They demand latin[?] and [??] to pay for it. Just [??] [??] all engrossing [??] seems to be Kansas that new land of promise. Gov. [Pausron?] takes the lead in [??] from here and may [soil/sail?] [??]. I often laugh at Mr. Palmer for expressing astonishment at our [??] changing [??]. I see him he [??] not [??] entirely [??] or he would [??] to be astonished. Your numerous friends are all well. Mrs [??] [??] at the farm may quit. Mr. [??] has returned [??] quietly [??] in office has not I think quite [??] all his friends. I trust Mr. Rochester has quite recovered by this time. Remember me to him and his wife. Sarah says tell Gov. Throop I will keep a kiss for him next time. With many kind wishes for your health and keep [??] in returning to your old home believe me your friend--
