Writes she has no pasteboard at home, but would be able to find some elsewhere. Notes she has enclosed five dollars for the missing pasteboard. Mentions that Annie, [Latham], and Lilly filled a pushcart, and with the aid of an African American man brought it to the ward of a hospital. Upon arriving there, she found that the doctor was not there. Writes that Mr. Harmon was at their house that morning and left a note from the doctor. Written to "Sallie," likely referring to Sarah Ogden.
