_Lenox_, August 8th, 1851
_Ownest Phoebe_,
I wrote thee a note yesterday, and sent it to the village by
Cornelius; but as he may have neglected to put it in, I write again.
If thou wilt start from West Newton on _Thursday_ next, I will meet
thee at Pittsfield, which will answer the same purpose as if I came
all the way.
Mrs. Tappan requests that thou wilt bring ten pounds of ground rice
for her; or a less quantity, if thou hast not room for so much.
Julian is very well, and keeps himself happy from morning till night.
I hope Una does the same. Give my love to her.
