My Dear Aunt,
I have but a few moments to write as Mr Fairfield leaves this evening, he has offered to take my letter. I will commence with the most important business first. If you have purchased the things I sent for, I wish you would send them on the first opportunity. The time is not yet fixed upon when I shall be moved; it may possibly be before Mother is; I am therefore anxious to have my things as soon as possible. I will write you when it is settled. I can write with a great deal of calmness about Mother, and must think it is for the best if my friends think so. Grandmother has been quite sick for a week past; cold I think is better to say. Lydia Powers is staying with her. Mother is sick with a cold too. Aunt Frances had a fine boy I hear. I have not seen him yet. The last I heard from E. Burrsett[?] she was failing. Bradley and Mrs. Martin from Canada[?] have been down to visit. I believe I have told you everything. Remember me affectionately to my dear Uncle, and believe me as well.
