GE to Fanny [Mrs. Henry] Houghton, [Foleshill, February? 1849]
MS: Yale.
My dear Fanny
Father becomes more and more feeble. He can hardly bear me to speak to him and it is with great difficulty that I can prevail on him to take any food. Everything that seems to claim an effort of mind is irritating to him -- and this one may well expect from his feebleness and suffering.
Your affectionate
Mary Ann.
