to try to reconstruct society - to form Cooperative companies - and if they do
make out anything worthwhile I will inform you tho' you [her?] adventure

(of the [illegible]) but left 7th day morn _ She is engaged with 6 other "ladies" in trying to re-
form "the worse than the 5 points" of [illegible]. She is the same pompous body
but she seemd more humane and improved in her ways so let each work in
her way _ I dined with her at Mary Van [Cleifs?] (near the Hall on [Plumb St?]
