[letter of Edward T. H. Warren to Virginia "Jennie" Warren continues]
Thursday morning 18th A very heavy rain
last evening gives us this morning a very
damp unpleasant atmosphere & a bright sun
will however soon remedy the evil.
I told you either in this or the letter previous
to bring me buttons for shirt Bosoms & a candlestick
& nothing else--I take back the nothing else
& say you may bring what ever you please
one of the childrens pillows would be accept
able indeed--you must certainly bring your
riding dress--Matches are very scarce here,
you say butter cant be had & tomatoes scarce
dont bother yourself about either we can
get along well--but it will come in
well if Mr Boyd will bring a bag of corn
meal--I will send him a note about
it. Give love to Mother & Ellie & Lizzie &
tell them I am not going to stop writing
to them & they must not either--I never
hear a word from Grandma--my love to her
& tell me something about her. Affectionately E. T. H. W.
