User-Contributed Transcription springs to get them. I want to be getting a little something round the house, and Samuel is always so busy, particularly in the spring, that I find I must manage to do all I can myself. Tell Mother the hop vine is doing bravely, but I can find no living signs of grape vines - and the white peony has not yet showed its head. I am fearing it will not. O, the chief object of my letter has just popped into my head; that is to tell you to make dilligent use of the currant wine Alice gave Mother for yourself. I feel a great deal better than a while go, and do not need it now, and besides Eliab got a nice large bottle of it for Maria & me the other day. So please you & Mother, and all other needers, invigorate yourselves therewith. Mr. Tebbets moved into his house last Friday.
