Write to me immediately about your dress. I [saved?] a [dark?] garnet camels hair over dress & velvet underskirt. It will be a little different from what you usually have & I think [crossed out: that] will be warm for a long time yet. & I know from experience that they are durable.

Your old dress is in places badly worn but will make up pretty for all that & will be a nice dress for either of us. I wish I had got more than 2 ½ yds of velvet for it. Write immediately Sarah Stern came here last night. Dont know how long she will stay this time

there were over 400 set down to dinner & I think they must have jumped the boundaries of Norfolk to considerably to have found so many. The only thing I have to find fault with was that they laughed and giggled until one o’clock and as we can hear from the guest chamber so plainly it was rather disagreeable to me who am used to have the house so quiet. One of the young ladies asked me at breakfast time if [crossed out: of] I heard her trying to hush them up but the other girls thought she made more noise trying to hush them than they did. I am going in to see Mrs Richards to see if they are going to Lake Superior

I will send an advertising card I dont think it is a very nice one but you can do as you wish about sending it to Edith. I wont write you many more letters to [...] shall I?

You should see your dress Tuesday look at it to see if it is not stained or anything of the kind before the express man goes or let me know when you get it If [crossed out: any] ^it should get stained [crossed out: s on it] the express will have to pay for it
