Let our carpets, flannels, blankets and all woolen stuffs be nicely packed in tobacco, you know how. In this way they will receive no injury from the moths. It will be well to have them well aired first. Br. Austin says you had better not dispose of our furniture, as you must do it at a great sacrifice if you do. He says if you wish to move it back into the country a way can be devised by which it can be moved as far back as Raleigh with very little expense. Furniture back in the country is much more expensive than in Newbern. But if you can sell our looking-glass without much sacrifice, I think it will be best to dispose of it.  Our tables we shall <s>k</s>need; I therefore think we had better keep them; as the sacrifice we should be obliged to make in selling them and purchasing again, would be sufficient to pay for transporting those we have. My bureau keep, I cannot think of parting with it. Our bedsteads I also think it will be best to keep. The chairs I am willing to keep, but if you can sell them without sacrifice, I do not object to it. Br Austin says if you design to go to housekeeping, you can have our things packed and forwarded as opportunity may offer.  It is my opinion, that we had better not keep house untill you have finished your wanderings. Nothing of an earthly nature, could be more welcome to my heart than the enjoyment of a quiet home with the remnant of my dear family. But as we <u>must be separated</u>, I think A E and myself can be boarded with less expense, than we can keep house. I should think it would be best to let our things remain in Newbern untill we go to housekeeping.
