Veils we had I intend to make me a black crepe collar soon as I can. And I have bought me some mourning calico, black with a small whole figure, for a morning dress. I shall not purchase any more clothes than I really need. Not any more now. Last week I spent in Greenfield in Major Reed family. Twas quite a sudden and unexpected visit. Henry Ward Beecher was going to lecture there and the folks thought 'twould do me good to go. So Chandler and I in company with Mr Lincoln & wife went down We went to call on Mr. Reed's family, and they gave me such a cordial invitation and so kindly, insisted on my staying, that knowing how lonely my home seemed now, at length consented, so after the lecture which was rich they came home and left me. and I spent a very pleasant week there. which I will tell you more about whenI see you. Spent one afternoon and evening with unclear Mr. Moors and wife very pleasantly. Mr. Reed and his family are very pleasant people I became quite attached to them of course as I always do to good folks. and here I must say good night with love from Mary -
