she ought to be informed. Emmie says they have a large
house and are always ready for company so that is clever.
If G. P. thinks best to inform her and has not time
to write I will write for her. Please to let me know
the day you intend leaving home how long you intend stay
in New York and what day you will probably arrive at
Rochelle. You will have the pleasantest time to come
in the steam boat, the only trouble is getting from the
landing here, however there are carriages from this place
that go there for the purpose of accomodating peeople
although some of them are not so very nice. The boat
leaves the foot of Fulton between one and three and
lands here at about half past five. The stage leaves 21. Bow-
ery at half past two and will, if you tell the driver
you wish to go Miss Kenyon's Boarding School in Rochelle,
leave you at the door where I shall probably have the un-
speakable pleasure of meeting you. It commenced rain-
ing last 6th day morning and has rained almost all the
time since and most of the time been quite cold
rather warmer today which is second day. I expect for
the occasion you will receive nothing, but boarding school
fare however that is good enought for any lady. The eggs
of the silk worm hatch and produce worms which grow
from four to six weeks when they wind themselves up with
silk. They remain in cocoons a little more than a week when
they will come out in the form of millers and by their eggs
and die, unless they are put in warm water and the worm
killed before its form is changed and it begins to eat the cocoon
now we can have a red and prepare the silk or sell
it in the cocoons, which will be the least trouble and ex-
pense. Second day night school is out and I must
send this by one of the scholars. The sun shines
qiote pleasantly. E's mulberries are considerably in-
jured by the wind and rain. Do not get-
out of patience trying to send my most
wretched servants for all I have written has
been done ina great, some more New Yorker's
here this afternoon our company is all city
quality - I suppose your next sheet will be
filled with this most important business do not
be afraid of writing across and all ways for I
have all the patience of Job in studying it
out.
Love in abundance to you all.
From your Susan
