New Orleans March 28th
My dear Sister
Mr
Taylor delivered your kind letter
I was glad to hear from you
all but sorry that our dear mother
was not so well, I bought you
the three dresses requested
I made a bundle of them &
put the bundle in the box
that contained sister Virginia
things I have written to her
and requested her to attend
to the delivery of them, they
are tied up and directed to
you separate from hers so
there can be no mistake
Mr Taylor has made quite a
short stay and sunday inter-
vening I have not had time
to attend to the patterns but
there is very little change
I will bring every thing up
[page 2]
when I come and then I can
explain all about them, I put
in a print of your Berege as it
is two flounces, Louise &
Victoria went with me to select
them I hope you will be pleased
my love to all adieu your
devoted sister
M V Gasquet
Berege $9
Organdie robe 6
Plain Organdie 5
20
The dresses that I
liked over ten $ were so much
over that I could not have followed
your limits in any other way
