invitation I shall go; be the matter how it will, I suppose I shall go home some time the latter part of next week. But I shall write you a few lines before I seal this with love to all yours ever AWW.
Saturday Morning.
Dear D.
This letter went out to Weymouth yesterday afternoon for D to read because I was so hurried & came in this morning — I could not really get time to write to her. Louise showed in town yesterday to go to Waner St in vain. It is all put off till June as Dickens could only have time to see the children & not address them. Rogers, Caroline, & Lucia took tea at Henrietta's last night. I am sorry for your being in difficulty about your cape or collar, but never set anybody to buying such a thing again for me is a most vexatious piece of work to do. This morning I took Caroline & Lucia down to Brownells & there even bought the collar that accompanies this & the lamé(?) to trim it. C. thought that better than the collars all made up. I gave for the whole $1.75. I spent part of the $5 you paid Ma for my white bonnet so I took of my annuity to pay this. I enclose a note of Elaine(?) Leary's to me which as containing their slate(?) under their own hand & (?)ll you may like. I hope you will like the collar. I send too your gown & the drawings. The Marks are going to Northampton (?) Adams' community I believe. Henry I think very poorly, but I do not know what to do for him. I advise him to have a homoeopathic doctor here in town. Write & my next will come by more shops. Yours ever AWW.
