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
