You think no doubt dear friend that I am quite persecuting you with my epistles & commissions about this time, but knowing your unfailing friendship & good will I follow up my yesterday's assault with a new one, having forgotten some articles I should like to add to my memo. First as to the J.R. boots do not send them, as they are too small to wear over anything but a pair of socks, & too thin to exchange for anything I am in the habit of wearing for wet weather. If there is a passable pair of overshoes however lying about please send them. The boots, take home, you can wear them over a pair of slippers or what will be better a pair of thick woollen socks. They will be fine to go into the garden &c this winter & spring. If however there is a pair of boots that will do Caesar any service, or the tops of which are good enough to make into shoes please send a pair if there is room, also a roll of leather you will see somewhere in a corner. There is also a crochet hood you may send. I can

it made over into something else. Please send also a box or 2 boxes blacking from the store room also an oil lamp. I have got above taking Cod Liver oil, & want to burn up my supply. I doubt there being any lamp wick, but if you see any please send it.
put up also Cruden's Concordance, Mr. Lincoln's litany & Flügel's German Dictionary if there is room, & the best broad cloth coat for Caesar. There will be hardly room for the Accordion, but if there is, please send it turning out the wine & boots to make room for it. I cannot trust my lungs yet on the flute. There is a brass ring with a screw belonging to the Spyglass on the étagire, which please send. I think there is a new white thick undershirt in the press, if so please put it in as I have the fellow to it -- also a pair of cotton night shirts if they are good enough to send. If any shot are about, please send them too; none to be had here, also the shot gourd. I have a bag. And also chess men & board from book case.
I believe this is all, and enough in all conscience. Bp. W is to be in Augusta on 12th & will probably leave G by 6th or 7th so as to stop in Montgomery awhile. My name had better be written on

a bit of white cloth, & sewed to the Cover & if sent by stage, please send a note by mail to "Mrs. Christian (Sarah I think) Proprietor Hotel Greensboro," requesting her to have the trunk sent immediately to Bp. W. If however there is an Express agency in Gainesville it may be the surest to send it by express, & they will or ought to deliver it.
     But good bye. Love to all --

Your friend as ever
L.H.A.

I opened my letter yesterday at the P.O. to add something, which accounts for the state of the envelope
