I dont know how much longer Miss Howland will be here, but rather think she will leave before long, Mrs McCue will move early next week I have not found my pocket Book and from a remark Mrs Harrison made I will have to pay Miss Howland and Mrs Roberts too just as soon as you can send me ten dollars in currency so I can settle it I will tell you --------------------------------------------- all about it when I see you, I am out of coffee and flour, have you any half Barrels of Flour if so save one for me.
