Philada January 16, 1781
Dr. Madam,- The Jeweller promises me to have the bracelets done in a few days. I have begged him to take the utmost pains to set them neatly ... As no foreign glasses were to be had, I have moulded some of the best glass I could find and got a Lapidary to polish them; which, I hope will not be inferior to those made abroad. I have cut the Pictures to one size, and mean to go a little further than you are pleased to direct - That is to have spare loopholes for occasional use as a Locket, and the additional expense in inconsiderable.
Respectfully yours
C.W. Peale
Mrs Martha Washington…
