you asked what I was writing now. I dont write much lately - I am tired of sentiment, and take in with music. O Abby, today my beautiful new instrument The perfect Melodeon, Piano Style, came. And I was so delighted, I, like to have hopped over the steeple of the Meeting House! Wallace selected it for me and brought it and set it up today. It is six Octave, and nearly or quite as large as a Piano. It is Rose wood case and nicely finished - Cost $125; dollars, And he brought me with it Carharts self Instruction Book I dont expect ever to learn to play mucch, but I wanted an instrument terribly, I suppose you'll thin "a fool and his money is soon parted" then. But I saw there was no sort of indication of ever coming to see you, and I thought I might as well enjoy my money soe way so I handed it right out or shall soon - I've spent like everything this year, but you know I did'nt last. See, I told you I had got me a Cloak or materials for one, Did I tell you about my furs? I guess I got them afterwards, they are quite pretty I think - Victorine and unclear Fitch fur like mothers muff only darker Cost some less than $25 dollars - and now I've got my beautiful instrument I believe Ive got all I need unless 'tis a husband (Danford says) that will be a god send if I ever have one, he's not to be bought with a price - O, you asked if I was going to have a new summer Bonnet - I dont know whether I shall have a visit or not - You know I've had my shawl dyed green and 'tis very pretty - And now, tell me when you are coming home?
