My dearest Mama Will you send by Simeon the box which came from Sydney which contains my collars and also my bonnet and a pair of white kid gloves which you will find in the pocket of my green dress. You need not send my green dress as I shall walk up with my black silk and I can change it when I get home. I do not think my collar box will hold my bonnet. If not will you send it down in one of the band boxes. I shall return it with Simeon when he goes up again. Will you also send Jessie's shawl as she is going out. I shall be up as soon as I can. Believe me Your affectionate Susan D McLean
