not enough in them to make good bosoms as we make them nowadays. If you wish more made, I will make them for you. The wristbands of your shirt look rather small, but are a little longer than the measure which you left at home. Charles sold the studs other day and of the proceeds I have got five dollars which Ann is going to spend for me at your store if you've got what I want. Besides which, firstly soon, I am going to send you a pair of red shirts, and I desire you, if you please, to let me have the worth of them in cloth &c such as Ann shall select. The shirts will be forthcoming, and if you will you may send the things whenever Ann gets the others ready, either by Isaac or some other time. The shirts we shall send will probably be like the pr which Almeda now sends down. I send you my Bible, with a half dol. which Mother gave me; and desire you to get it bound for me, unless Isaac can attend to it. I have considered the matter and conclude that I had rather have this bound than get a new one for the same price. Thought the print is not very good, it has engraving, which a cheap one would not have, - and besides it is my Bible which I have had a good while, and wish to keep. There is one leaf loose in the beginning of Revelation, but they can fasten it in I suppose. No hurry about it - any time when convenient. I feel most wicked nowadays to wear my shawl, when you are in need of the money that was paid for it. Can't help it now - and suppose times here on the whole to get a good one, I found a collar 'tother day with your name on it which I will send. Unless you tell me differently, I will make a few just like that of the remainder of your linen.
