User-Contributed Transcription spring now - just about such weather as spring in Mass., you know. She said she was ashamed of herself so did not want me to say anything about it, but she consented to let me write to you to see if you could conveniently get cherry and round wood baskets to fix up some bitters as you used to for Eliab. He is not very well and needs some too. She told me to say it was for him. Can your get Ricker boys or somebody to get the materials. If you can, send down by stage or any way. She feels a constant weariness, sleepiness & lassitude. Don;t write to them anything about it, for she will think I have made a great matter of it. She's real good and Eliab's life is bound up in her. I saw at Hatch's the other day, some four cent sheeting - very thin - used a good deal for cheese strainers. Would Albina like some?Thurs. morn. I must finish off my letter - didn't have time before. One hundred and eleven pews in the new church sold or rented for $2200.00 last Tuesday evening. Eleven more below and all the gallery pew to rent yet. I am getting along finely only pretty tired for a day or two with fourth of July and dress making . Why don't you please to write all of you. You are dear good though Mother about writing please continue to be so, In hasteLucy.
