Written from Roadside. Mott discusses house furnishings with her daughter Martha, who recently moved out of Mott's house and is now living in New York City. She advises her daughter on books to buy, saying that "the Koran is worth owning" but urging her to "avoid foolish novels"; discusses her own reading habits. Briefly references a meeting to aid "contraband" (formerly enslaved people who escaped to Union lines) in Missouri; and comments briefly on her own drinking habits.
