Transcription

My dear Mary, Send me two shirts three white pocket Hkfs and two or three collars as I may be detained in town over Monday. Bubb will bring them down; but take care he does not forget to call at the Cottage for them Your affectionate Uncle Washington Irving 〈Satur〉Friday Evg. Decr. 5th. [END OF PAGE 1] [PAGE 2 BLANK] P.S. Pierre tells me in his letter that Helen was to write to you that morning; so I trust your indignation at her silence has been appeased. I am glad to hear Angeline is home again and hope she brought no cold with her. See that she takes care of herself this cold spell of weather and that she does not go about in the snow.
