but there was such a crowd that
I did not find them.
Yesterday with us passed off very
quietly, we kept the store open
all day the proprietors" going to
lunch while the Clerks stood and
attended to business.
I should like to have you look
and see if Father has left
any of his overcoats at home
(he said that if he had I could
have it) if you find one will you
send it down to me as I find
myself without one and the weather
being quite cold it would be very
comfortable to have something besides
a shell to ware.
