I got here as Eliab has told you when you read this. I am here at Ms. Walkers: Eliab I feel has a cold side home. He ought to have had some mittens. Send me my gown and my shirt that Isaac had at Barn for with the potatoes if possible. I did go to meeting this forenoon but am going this afternoon. They say that probably (on account of headwind etc.) the steamboat will not arrive here tonight & therefore I will not repost till about noon tomorrow. I have eat dinner here, Mr Walker's folks have got 1 new wrinkle - they take a great long baked potato in 1 hand & a knife in other & dunk it into a bowl of milk & eat it with a spoon like bread & milk. | I got here as Eliab has told you when you read this.
