Harrisburg Dec.[ember] 18th '63 I enclose a small bill of Einstein (1) which provoked
me today. I had forbid any one of the family dealing at that store.
In the next place, I do not allow any bills to be made at any store
for goods. I told Einstein's boy that I knew nothing of this bill & would not pay it. Martie (2) says you got a dress somewhere & that your sister thought you had paid for it. I did not dream that I owed any Jew. Your sister is pretty well, and the baby- James is in Phila. We have nothing new, but have had a great rain storm
with freezing which injured the trees by breaking the tops. Let me
hear from you about the bill. I had a letter yesterday from Hampy.
(3) He is well. Yours truly,
