User-Contributed Transcription her for my bonnet. I did not get the plume nor flower I spoke of, she said it was when I spoke of getting the 50 cent plume she thought she could fix it for 2.00. I got a very pretty bunch of flowers, one velvet, with velvet leaves, that looks like a very nice one, brown and blue for 12 1/2 cts for one side, and she fixed a cunning, little something for the other for 12. She could not make it on a new frame without cutting up one of the pieces of velvet for folds so I got a quarter of a yard of beautiful dark blue satin for folds for 31 cts. I had a very pretty flower for one side inside and got something for the other for 17 cts .50 for making, 38? for frame, 08 for cape lining and sewing silk, making in all $1.69. It is exceedingly neat and pretty I think I like it quite as well as if I had got the 75 feather. If I can and I think I can I would rather get my talma fixed, than get a new cloak. It is so nice and pretty, and it will give me a better opportunity to wear it out. It is quite an undertaking for me to do so much towards selecting clothes, although Elisabeth does help me by advise.O, how much I love you all. Sister sends loveWrite again soon toYour Cynthia
