Clinton? Dec. 30/51

My dear Mother,

I think I shall need some new bed dresses? soon; those that I have are beginning to look quite faded and old, and besides, they got dirty so soon, I can hardly wear them one week without being ashamed of them. The unclear are in unclear, looks quite bad. You said, when you wrote, that you did not get me any in unclear, and I have thought since, that perhaps I had better have a calico sack, not such as I wear now, but a shirt? and something like my unclear one, and a loose skirt to wear with it, as I spoke of when you were here. I dont care about hemming them the same. Perhaps the skirt had better be unclear or something so, that I might wear it with any sack?. I do not think I shall need more than one sack at present, as I can make unclear unclear and some if I only had a skirt. I guess? the sack had better be lined all through. I wish you would
