Lenox July 16th 1889 My Dear Sarah I received your letter this morning and was glad to hear from you - I have not heard any thing about the death of Mrs Tyler except what I saw in the newspapers - Mrs Horsford and her daughter Cornelia have just

called the days her Grandaughter was with her when she died - she says Mrs Tyler has erected a very handsome monument for her husband and also one for Julia and that she spent a great deal of her time in beautifying the grounds - She says Fitz Walter was married last winter very much to the surprise of his Mother and every one else - that Mrs Tyler went to see how he was situated he has married a

person much older than himself and she thinks will take good care of him and assist him about his farm - I received a letter from Frederick this morning he was at Rotterdam and was going the next day to Copenhagen Your Affectionate Mother S D Thompson Love to all
