Paine, Sally Cobb RTP
Taunton april. 9 1775 Dear Husband,

I have Sent your Breeches to Braintree to be Colour:d. I am in hopes they will be done for you to Bring home. You must Call upon Allen Crocker for them and pay him for the Colouring. If your Cloaths Should be wove befor your return I Shall Send it to Liscumb to be Colour:d pea Green unless I hear from you. I am in Great want of that Cambrick if you have an opportunity due Send it up. I want to know when you expect to come home. I hope I Shall See you with your head on your Shoulders once more but my Stout heart begins to quiver for fear of blood Shed. I hear their is a great number going to See Col G—to night with a Desine to carry him to providence but what the event of this will be I do not know. Our family are well at present. Give my Love to your Sisters. I am in haste your Loving wife,
