Lizzie I dont know what bet-
ter use can be made of my
time this dreary dreary day
than to write letters, I have
sewed until worn out; now
dont I deserve credit, for take
my blue silk entirely [underscored] to
pieces and making it all
over again, all that tedius body
but my success in making
my new blue dress was so
complete as to induce me to
alter my silk I turned it in-
side out, and made it fit
much better than it ever
did by making it a few in-
ches smaller. I regret exceed
ingly that you did not return
home sooner you would
really have enjoyed uncle
Franks company he is so
