Dear Father
I wrote to you yesterday / and it is was then doubtfull if I sent / the furnature +c to day but - it has cleared / and the [car men] are taking them out / of the house as fast as possible / they think that one car will hold / then all . but perhaps not. I send / them in the 5 oclock train which / arrives in Sing Sing at twelve . so / they will be all ready in the morning / the casks + things boxed you better / have at the stable . but do not / unpack any thing till I return / The auction is to take place on / Tuesday . So I cannot return before /
[END OF PAGE 1]
Wednesday . but will come then if nothing / happens to prevent / I inclose you a check / for $30. – which will pay for two cars / if necessary to have two, I hope Mamas / health continues to improve with best love / to her and all at home
I am your affectionate
Daughter Joanna
