Mailed Jonathon a sweat shirt sort of a sweater and pretty white brushed wool sweater + my ring.  Mailed them Wednesday afternoon – Hope he likes them.  Today tried on a long coral dress at Price’s.  About decided to keep it – Will be stylish – I don’t know about the hat from Bray Moris – Maybe so!  Yesterday I found a sweet pink new dress for Mary Jo at Everybody’s – Had Mrs. Webb send it to her. The check for March 2 to Baily’s was evidentely lost I must see about it !! Found out that Incognito’s name is not Scott but Cox!
