Roosevelt continues her charming letter with family news of their recent activities and many references to relatives and mutual friends, in part, '…the four or five months Theodore, Elliott & Corinne spent in Dresden in 1873 is always fresh in their memory - & it gave them such a spur in their German. Nannie being near Linlie will be a great comfort & advantage to her. I long to hear of her departure & first impressions….Bamie & I spend October at Tranquillity - hoping that Alice & Teddie, Corinne & Douglas & Elliott will spend some Saturdays & Sundays with us - November will find us all in the City for the winter. I wish you all could see the glorious view from The Mansion & the Farm House….clear atmosphere with every distant point & range, tree farm in view & blue either overall, then all in melting haze & great soft masses of clouds. Purple & gold sunsets, golden sun sets - then the heavens flecked with soft pink clouds & the distant hills steeped in depths of saphire (sic) blue….We took Tea with old Mr & Mrs Ward yesterday in their most comfortable Farm House which had the usual bead baskets large Bible in the best parlour & our tea was exquisite in its daintiness & brightly cleaned real silver….the Pastor of the primitive little church at the village of Henderson is a most agreeable man, a scholar & very fine preacher - Their House most pretty, cake & home made wine they refreshed us with when we called…..Douglas has gone in his dog cart for our mail at Jordanville. He is also ordering potatoes, buckwheat & maple syrup for all of our tables in the winter….Elliott is seated by Corinne reading Sidney Smith's Memoirs & Letters to her….& they are both laughing at some of the bon mots. Mr. Robinson rises at four a.m. after his toilette, he makes a little fire in his room, boils his water & makes his tea & partakes of it with bread & butter, reads & then has prayers at 7 am for the farmer….He again has prayers for us at half past eight after which we breakfast. Our table is waited on by a young girl formerly Mrs. R's Sunday School schooler. Her little brother Willie follows in John Martin's wake in overhauls far too large for him…..Elliott has been unfortunate in the illness of his horse Jack who foundered the other evening after coming in from the ride….the poor old Horse has his two feet done up & in saw dust while the Vet (as D & E say) from Utica visits him….' Roosevelt concludes by sending her love to Hariott, Jessie, Linlie, Jimmie and Stuart.
