I wish you were to be here Tuesday and Wednesday, to the great Fair for Soldier's Aid - Perhaps it is well for your pocket though - I do not know how much I ought to spend - It is to be in the Courthouse - I suppose we must all go and buy something - Edith Ely is propounded for admission to the church next communion I wish Libby DeWitt & Charlie Rich were ready to come too - Perhaps this will not reach you - all the better if it does not - I thought I would write lest you should be delayed -Good night - Nettie -
