Context

Dear Sir, Miss Ella Adams needs 1. Pr. Shoes No. 3, 3 Prs Wool Hose, 4 suits of Underwear, Size 36, 2. Calico Wrappers. 1. Woolen Dress for Chapel. Miss Ella has six wrappers and even with that number she cannot be kept clean and sometimes is obliged to wear a ward dress. She has some woolen or worsted dresses but they are entirely too small for her. The underwear must be part cotton owing to their being washed so often the all wool would not answer. My Respectfully O. E. Deventer
