She encloses six dollars, the subscription money for Mr. Payne and herself. Her tardiness is due to sickness and absence from home. She sent all the bills to the subscribers, and if they have not settled, it must be from some good reason. Col. Mosby has had ill children, one supposed to be dying, but she will remind him that his subscription is due. She fears that she cannot add to the subscription list as most of her friends feel that they should support their Town, State, and Church papers and this leaves them without the money for the Freeman's paper. She lends hers frequently, and it is enjoyed very much. She asks to be remembered to Gertrude, and expresses thanks for the Sentinel songs. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
