[2]I would, of course, much prefer to have his com- pany, yet if he had not time to spare, maybe I shall come alone; especially if I do not have to change cars or if I can check baggage through. But you will hear from me again ere that time. Your [ carpet?] is finished but has not yet brought home as we have not had a good opportunity of so doing. If we cannot send it before I come I will bring it in a trunk Your thimble too is here and could have been sent had we not been expecting Willis. [3]Brother John has made us glad with the inteligence that he intends spending next winter in New York and will visit us before that time, [underlined: You] “pick a date. If he cannot spend Christmas with us we will have to appoint the reunion before that time, but then I think likely he will. Sarah was in town a few days ago and reports the family re- covering finely from the measles, but you ought to have seen David’s mouth as he recounted the horrors of his own dear self having to wash dishes
