User-Contributed Transcription One of your shirts is not quite finished. That it has no "flap-gussette." I guess, however, you have got enough there, so you will not need to wear it. We would rather not have it seen and washed if you can do without it. I don't know as there will be room to send the night-shirts.L.H. Metcalf Milo Mr. Isaac S. Metcalf FoxcroftMay 24th 1844 Foxcroft May 25th 1844 Maine[upside down]Be sure & burn this letter - or put it out of sight and hearing somewhere. Joseph is at work in a lath mill, at Oldtown for ten dollar per month. We will write more particulars when we hear them. You had better write to him. Says he works at low wages so as to run no risk. We can't send Jo's letter because shall want to refer to it in putting up his trunk. He tells no more in particulars. Butters is at Oldtown in a mill. Jo saw Tash & Sister & bairns? at Oldtown t'other day. In great haste.
