Everybody said, it'll come out, go better and easier than you imagine. This has come true. So far we haven't suffered any shortage. We were abundant presented with meat, corn, and fourteen hens. Of these two became clucking hens, one hatched 12 the other 8 chicken.
Hens are of great benefit here.
We sold 12 dozens of eggs at 15 and 20 cents. One cent is about 5 Pfennige, a hundred cents makes a dollar. A dollar equals one Taler and twelve Groschen. We stayed with them till February 7. This was an oppressive day for me, so much so that I could hardly say good bye to my sister.
