Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney thanks his daughter, Alice Taney Campbell, for sending a letter that arrives on his 79th birthday. Campbell's "affectionate remembrance," as Taney explains, reminds him of her "affectionate & constant attention to [her] dear grandmother." Justice Taney also discusses the weather in Washington, his health, and his family, including Alice's aunts [Elizabeth] Stevenson, Ellen, Sophia, and Maria and her cousin "little Roger."
