What lumber do the trustees want, and when do they want it sent, and to whose care.  State this and I will see what can be done.  I have forgotten about their wants.

Miss:

Sorry I did not see you.  Will see to the trunk matter.  Hope you will get at work soon.  They ought to have the house ready as they promised.  Hope Mrs. W. is better.  Please remember me to Mr. & Mrs. W. and sister.  You sent me two transportation papers.  Why did you not use the boat from Hartford to New York?  Do you want that refunded.
