Mr Grimball sent Adam to Columbia to bring the box to us. We have now opened it and find 2 pieces of beautiful long cloth, 18 yds white cambric, 2 doz spools of white cotton, 1 do black, 6 papers pins, a large supply of needles put up in a glass bottle, 1 piece linnen , 4 dresses, black poplin cloth for a suit for Mr Grimball 28 yds. white flannel, a hat for Mr G. shoes, high & thick soled & slippers 2 pair shoes for Harry, 1 pair for each of the girls, & 1 for me & 3 pair of slippers for the girls. The shoes are rather tight but very much needed, and we feel how kind and sensible this good child has been in his selections. I have sent 9 yds of long cloth, 3 yds. linnen , 3 yds. flannel, 2 papers pins, 2 spools cotton, 1 paper needles to the Wilkinses. John said he wished them sent sent something if we could spare it out of the box.<\/p>\n
I gave each of the women servants a yd of long cloth to make an apron & 1 yd to Adam; to Mrs Irwin our land lady I gave a half paper small pins do large, 2 yds long cloth, 1 yd flannel for her baby.<\/p>\n
This long cloth costs now $8 per yd if not more, flannel must be from $10 to 15, linnen $25 per yard. Shoes such as we have $75 a pair, spool cotton $2 for one. I am very thankful as John did send us these things they got to us safe, so many people lose their boxes. The Church has been Consecrated, & the Council has met here. John Elliott staid with us, a very pleasant visit, he is a pious & successful M. preacher in Anderson, where he has a Church.\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
