assemblies: but to be in proper uniform I must wear boots. I cut

que left my curls are platted in and the tapee cropt short so that
unless it be once or twice a week a little powder shook over my head
is all the Hair dressing I want This with my having no further
care about dress contributes in no small degree to my happiness.

You should have besides a great Coat, a Cloth cloak, made full so
as after wrapping round you the flap is flung on the shoulders
Spanish fashion with a sword broad cape made in that short like a boat cloak or
Rochaloe. It may be of blue or of scarlet cloth, lined or not as
well not. As to seasons, there are but two now in this country with

dispense with the division into 4 seasons.
