Abstract	A letter to Edward Hitchcock, Jr. in which Orra White Hitchcock writes about everyday matters, including clothing she is sending to Edward and his brother Charles and Charles' absence and his homesickness at school. She also writes that the replacement for their barn help turns out to be "extremely ignorant of barn affairs," resulting in the loss of a pail of milk on his first day, after the cow kicked a hole in the bottom of the pail.
