A. Rich Bangor Feb. 15th 1846Mr. I. S. Metcalf Feb. 20th 1846Bowd CollI am very sorry there was a mistake about getting your bosoms- I have one that I have just made for Joseph which I will send and have some move to send soon. One of the boarders speaks of having bosoms made of a kind of muslin gathered into a binding at the neck, and with a string at bottom- cost only half as much in linen only should you like such - if so I can get and make you some. I have some nice linen to make one but cannot do it before Ed. goes will make it after the most approved style and fashion and send.Note: "bosom shirts" popular at this time
