Letter signed S. Mason, to My Dear Rosalie [von Phul], St. Louis. Description of cap I chose for you; instructions on measuring yourself for a corsette. Dry goods are cheaper than when we came; shoes are not cheaper but they are so much better that they cost much. Maria has some she has worn for some time. The fashionable shoes are so narrow for the length, and to get them wide enough they have to be too long. Commenting on various subjects. , 1837 June 12
