My dearest Henrietta—

The frames for the gauze skreens [sic] are only this moment concluded, and I am putting them up with the materials for making them which will perhaps give you a little amusement in preparing for the Bazaar– They are to be covered with gauze doubled, bound with ribbon—& the ribbon sewn over with the Chenille.

A little friend of mine quite a beginner in drawing adds a pair of skreens for the bazaar if you will think them pretty enough to be sold. I forgot to say that the Chintz flowers are to be cut out & placed in a wreath upon the gauze of the skreens– I have not one instant to write more but kindest love from– My dear Henrietta–

Your very affectionate

M C Barrett
