My Dear Brother

If to-morrow is a good day, get up very early; & dress ready to go to your Farm, we will send the carriage & horse out very early-"Say Sun-rise, (Thursday morning) & then you can get back by Sun-down & Dr. will  be in town & bring the carriage back-or you can stay until friday-but Dr. will be to see you early to-morrow & you can tell him what you will do--Don't drive old Charley to hard & I think he will carry you safely-Take care of yourself & be sure to be ready, early tomorrow morning-

Your Sister Eugenia
