Monday night.

I am just about to start off I'll get off all right.

I have not time to write at length.

There are two boxes of trees from Rochester at walker Brunson & co's came by express.

At J. H. Reids' Drug store a door or two from Downs and from Wycks I have left a keg of alcohol Directed "J A Kennicott West Northfield etc" In a few days they will also have packed a box of bottles & corks with same mark direction - the keg is a new one - alcohol pure - must have one fourth its bulk added before using

I have been "flying about" else I would have written to day by mail I send Charlies watch and alices pin packed in a tin box in the satchel.

The Circulars will explain themselves I got the circular letters of introduction printed by good advice - Will father please send off these circulars as he thinks advisable

Ill write more at length again

I have been so unfortunate as to loose the card again that I took as a sample of those wanted. They told me at the Democrat office that they would charge $5 for 500 printed on first rate card board like the best last year or about $4 for 500 of a lower quality size 1/3 one third

smaller than those of last year. You had better write to them and enclose the sample saying the size in inches. Better have it done too - twill save expense in the long run.

Now please if possible have a bag filled with parsnips and go direct it "Mrs [Illegible] 109 State St Near Corner of Washington" and give it to the stage driver and tell him to charge auntie $0.50 for carriage the which she says she will gladly pay for the sake of having them She is exceedingly anxious to get the parsnips -

I am obliged to alice for the copy of Uhlers letter - The mouse is not a mouse tis indubitably Jaculus Labradorius anglice Jeraboa

Ill write from salem

I am well -

Love to all Son Bob
