If you conclude you had rather have a mouse de laine than your gingham, I should like to change. it would make a pretty winter dress for me being so dark, but would not be a pretty summer dress here. I begin to need my stockings I had two or three pairs of white ones at home (one pair unfinished,) which I wish were dyed blue or purple, and sent as soon as convenient, also one of my long nightgowns, questions to Emerson's Watts and one or two of my common white nightcaps. If I had my sheets of Bristol board I should be glad because I wish to copy some pretty pieces from one of my scholar's drawing books lately purchased, but if you think they cannot be went without inconvenience it is no great consequence. Mrs. Sylvester permits me to have a dressmaker come here & she is coming tomorrow to get my cloak together, I shall build a fire in my chamber and work with hers.
