-munity this is, every man doing what seems right in his own eyes. We are much in hopes these two events will strike terror into the negroes & the whiskey sellers.

We have some of your Charlotte Jews up here, & I am glad of it for Withers does charge exhorbitantly for example, lead coloured twilled jeans, such as you sent me beautiful too for 12 ½ cts per yd, Withers asks twenty. Now the Jews have opened a store may be I can do more of my shopping here. Can you get me, for Mrs Junkin a hank of crochet cotton, coarse, such as will do for table mats? Mark the prices on it. Please get that & the handk. & have them ready for the first oppor-tunity.

Laura Morrison & Dr McLean, Burwell & Scales took tea with us Monday evening. Laura is staying with Mrs Hill. Mrs H has had a right bad time, her breast rose & had to be lanced. She took cold from leaving her room too soon.
