VAN NESS HOUSE Burlington, Vt. 25, Nov 1884 Bro Walt.
Han is improving although very nervous: I suggested a
dress: common, cheap calico one ready made which cannot be procured here: She has
two or three cut: one late last spring: others years ago: She is unfortunate,
proceeds so far with one, then
puts it aside: no service
to her now—She managed to wash an
old one a few days ago: put it on: She has a craze for painting old woollen table
covers, for effect in
her small parlor: procured some vermillion for her and gave her a brush: mixed the paint: she
covered her arms and hands with it: body of her dress, and some on the skirt:
daubs chair backs,
and things generaly: I must humor her:
her mind must have occupation: I put down her winter carpet on Sun. She is much
pleased: retoned her
oil cloth: shall black and put up her stove: then I shall run two coal fires
constantly. Weather pleasant at times—then furious, blustering—freezing
hard.
