E. A. Ware:
Dear Sir,

Enclosed please find Bills (signed as required by J. A. R. in letter of Dec. 30.) of labor for Sidney Battels & Abram Hodges; also Bills signed by Mr. Rockwell, sent as illustrations of directions.

The delay in returning them to you is occasioned by difficulty in sending messages to the men who are four or five miles away.

Hoping all is correct, and that we may soon hear again from you.

I remain,
Your's Very Truly,
Mary S. Battey
