User-Contributed Transcription Remsen January 31 '57Dear brother: Mother wishes me to write a line to you and request you to call on Mr. Owens and order some cakes for our "donation." We will need about 18 loaf cakes and Mother says you will how many small ones we shall want, about as many as Lewis got for Mr. R. John Roberts intends going down Monday, he will bring them up. I thought of going down this week wednesday in company with cousin Mary, but it stormed so that we could not. We have given up visiting you till after "donation." I may go down with Mr. J. Roberts, but it is very uncertain. We are very busy just now with the Cen. Last night John worked until about 1 o'clock. They have had to work very hard all this month in the office. "Donation" tickets have been coming in thick and fast as ever town tickets come, and of course have delayed us somewhat. Wednesday John was obliged to refuse to print one for the Prospect people. He had the Cen. form on the press at the time and could not take it off. We shall not be able, with all our industry, to send the Cenhadwr down before monday. I hope you will be able to get here "donation" day if it is pleasant. What time did you reach Utica the night of M. Roberts' "donation"? did Thomas get any sleep? We hope he has slept enough since to make up. Mary - no I guess I won't say it. - Do you remember what a sore lip she had when we met at Mr R's? It is not well yet. She makes a great fuss about it. We hope it is getting along now. Her general health is much better since that eve. She is so much improved in appearance that I hardly think you would know her. - Sarah is still gaining. She
