Dear E.
I received yours of the 26th this
morning. Also Postage Stamp, and linen rag
but what in Heaven's name did you suppose
I wanted of that rag. and it cost 3 cts extra
too, Always recolect as I have toled you
before, that there is no need of sutch
things in such a place as this and in fact
no where else, bandges to very well, and
of course are indispenceable, but there is
no need of sending them in letters, I received
you letter with the tea in it, and the
tea is in my pocket, now or what there
is left of it, last winter Mother sent
me a very little pepper, to put in my
eyes or mouth to keep me awake, on
guard I suppose, I never knew what.
But its all noncence sending such things
