Oriskany, July 3, 1863 Dear Mary, I was quite disappointed last night not to receive a letter from hom. I hope one will certainly come to-night. I don't hardly think we will go to Rome unless somebody comes to go with us. I received the Cen. yesterday afternoon. It was very welcome here. I hope we will see some of you to-morrow. When the next letter is sent to me, if it will not be too much trouble, I would like to have you send the pattern of your head-dress. Also if you come down, and can conveniently, please bring a pattern of the Moss Basket. Mary Ann Roberts would like to make one. Please get

crosstext We still hope to see you and Jennie next week. I am sorry you do not feel better. I think if you would once get here, you would gain. We have had very, very warm weather. We had decided not to go away to-day, if it was as warm as for the last week, but last night it rained some. There was distant thunder, and to-day it is very pleasant. If Annie is inclined to it we may go yet. Our invitation did not come direct from Martha, and we have not sent her word, as we were so undecided about going. So we are yet undecided. I received a note from Whitesboro, stating that Mrs. R could not tell whether she would come or not, I hope in your next, you and Jennie will say something decided about coming. Love from all Good bye Cynthia
