Welcome

[Linda Anderson]

Thank you, Ms. Krisher, for your response. Fanny did devote herself to her family to the detriment of her own health but that was who she was like you say. I wish Secretary Seward had retired to Auburn after Powell's assault so Fanny could have gotten away from the house where every room reminded her of Powell but Seward was a restless, ambitious man so that wasn't going to happen.

It must have been so painful for Fanny to confront Powell, Betty, and yet she would not identify him on the monitor.

When you say Mrs. Seward's health is "a topic for someone's dissertation," Ms. Krisher, do you mean that someone is already writing it or that it would be a good topic for future research? I think Mrs. Seward was a very lonely and no doubt angry woman and that certainly would have affected both her mental and physical health. Her husband was very rarely home with her in Auburn.

I am still waiting for your book to be delivered. Next time I am going with Amazon Prime.
