going in the morning and it is the last opportunity I shall have to write I

after dinner she thought she would come down this evening but does
not make her appearance yet. I shall not give any directions about
the dress you so kindly offer to purchase for me. I do not need it.
I think another 7th shawl I think ought to more than satisfy my desires
for dress. Augustus will require a new cap or hat of some kind if you
think it better to purchase it in Albany than here please do so. I have
no choice. Hugh

progress in his matrimonial calculations. One week from to night

anticipate happiness or I do not allow myself to say any thing
about it except to the little boys
