if any comes between this an Monday noon I'll report it.
I am sorry my last Sunday letter has given them so much cause for trouble. still I think it no better to tell them, and shall alwys do so when there is anything to tell.

Please send me the measure of the finger thee would wear a ring on now. A hole in a bit of care board, or an old ring that fits. perhaps I'll want to use it and perhaps not. Now for building that bed. Come
