You ought to taste how sweet-- it is-- and all the other things are good as good can be. Mary is surprised to see me eat pickles with such relish-- I should not have been sorry if I had brought more. Mrs. Jones is much obliged for the butter. She is taking the small[unclear] roll also. We are to have sweet potatoes to supper-- we got a quart for 6 cts Saturday night and had some [?] breakfast with fresh fried fish Sunday morning. I had to eat dinner alone today as Mary did not get in till 2'[unclear] and it is now after 6 and supper waits her appearance. Tomorrow we expect to go to one of a course of Historical lectures-- Mary had two [unclear] tickets given her-- I wish Sarah or Anna could go with her instead of me. -- don't you? I got a good pair of rubbers for 25 {unclear] shall I send you some? How are they at Lewis' and how are you all?
