Do the native women do any kind of fancy work, such as [?] work? If they do, bring a good supply home if it is cheap enough. You know like the Mexicans do I mean, and if you can find portierres [sic] or curtains for our arch that are pertty and cheap bring a pair, and I want a piece of cloth for a cushion, something pretty and odd, about 2 yds, in silk, linen, or anything you can find.

The subscription to the Outlook is due $3.00 so I will pay it before long.
