Vassar, March 16. (1874?)
Dear Mother,
Yours has just 
come. I have not heard 
from Stewart's yet. Suppose 
I shall tomorrow. I am not 
sure that I understand what
you meant by the last 
letter. things were run 
together so. Stewart
advertises striped silks at 
.75 per yard. That would make 
the dress come to 16.50
If he sends me nothing 
less than .75 what shall I do? 
I don't think foulard's are 
very pretty. You have looked 
in Providence and there
is nothing there anyway.
If | can find nothing 
less than .75 in town 
and Stewart sends me 
nothing else, what shall I 
do? Write so I can get 
it Friday or sooner and 
send the money, if you 
can. If S. sends patterns
of anything pretty, I shall 
send to him without 
delay, [so if you c]
E. M. Tappan.
