Description
It seems that Harriet is sending fabric back home. She hopes that 6 1/2 yards will be enough for the pattern, especially since she suspects her mother will not over indulge in over skirts and ruffles.

For our dear Mother
with the love of
Henry + Hattie
Canton China
April 7[u]th[/u] 1873.
I hope it will not prove
too scant a patterN for a
dress there are only 6 1/2 yds
but it is very wide. I
suppose you have not grown
any taller since we left
America + I presume you
do not indulge in over skirts
and [u]ruffles[/u] Mrs Happer
has [--had--] a dress like this +
finds it very serviceable.
We got it for $12. 00 ---
为了我们亲爱的母亲，
怀着亨利和海蒂的爱。
中国广州
1873 年 4 月 7 日。
我希望它不会证明一件衣服的图案太少，
只有 6 1/2 码，
但它很宽。
我想自从我们离开美国以来你没有长高，
我想你也不会沉迷于裙子和荷叶边，
哈珀夫人有这样一件衣服，
觉得它很有用。
我们花了 12 美元买了它。
