BLACKWELL FAMILY

Killian, MrThomasville Apr. 15 -
[*1887*]
Mr. Killian
You know I depend
upon you to see that the garden
is made - that the wire screens
for doors and windows are all well
cleaned and ready - that the place
behind the hedge is made as
neat as it can be, that the
manure gets carried out
and that the cow goes out for
a little exercise every day
Now till the calf comes -
get some lettuce in early and
the peas -
I hope you have been well
all of you and that the dog
did not get stolen again
Yours respectfully
Lucy Stone
The chrysanthemums should
come up out of the cellar, and
set, well wet in the sun.
