Can you not without injurious delay to the shingling give a quarter or a half hour tomorrow morning to the direction of the Carpenter who builds Mrs [Lucy Jackson] Brown’s fence? [Isaac] Cutler has sent another man, & will not be here to repeat what you told him so that the new man wants new order. I suppose he will be on the ground at 7, or a little after & Lidian shall keep your breakfast warm.

  But do not come to the spoiling of your day.
