We want you here on many accounts now, and we think that you have had a very hurried, hard time of it all the fall and that it is right and reasonable that you should spend a part of the time in a little more care and leisure We beg that you will not immediately remove yourself to these regions - your presence is greatly needed on many accounts - besides it will save firewood and a new store there! The price of kerchiefs is 12 1/1 cts but Samuel can nowhere get but 10 cts for them. They are noble creations - very fat. Every thing is high now, not only provisions, but dry goods.

I am sorry you sent the great nice turkey's wings, as I want them mostly to use round the store, & little ones are just as good- guess I shall bring them back when I come. We want to go to Milo dreffully, and of course should much rather go when you are there, but om every account it seems to us expedient & necessary for you to come immediately here. Our
