The weather is so unpromising of a fair day tomorrow I fear
your sisters will not be able to come. & I would have written to
dear Theo or Florence had I time. I told them to get a pair of
blankets from De W & M. for dear Appeys use on board the Steamer
I hope they have not neglected to do so. I will have the carriage
at Hamilton to receive them if they come. God! grant your dear
