           Dear Eliza

                         I saw Mr Friend this

morning, he said he had not heard from Foster's

vessel, but I saw a man who has a brother there,

he says his brother writes that they will not be

home before the twentieth of next month. Last

Saturday they were reported in Newport. I

send you $1.00, pay for the milk and keep the

rest yourself, I shall be home the last of next

week, you had better not move till I come - I send

my love to the children, kiss Lizzie for me, you

must answer this, but I shall not send any

more bundles, it costs so much -
