I have written to Miss Harding - but I don't know whether she is in Charlestown or Cambridge, and will send the letter for you to forward. I find that Maggie has been used to general housework - instead of parlor work - and although she is very good [?]] - I am afraid it will take more time and strength to ? her than I have to expend, and I shall look not for a better waitress before you get back. I saw "Kity? Holland" who referred to Mrs Barnard, riding safe to the depot in Clarke's wagon - withe a large bouquet - so I presume she had a tender parting with Mrs. ?, after a week's trial. I am glad she did not come to rue?.
