Sometimes I think I will come in the spring but cant tell how it may be for I am often laid by and the distance is so great that I am affraid to undertake it. Give my love to Mother and all the rest of my friends. Mr Lynn I want you to come and see the country. I would like to have you for a neighbour. When you write tell me if you have had any account of your brother.
Fruit is very scarce here.
Apples is four dollars and a half a barrel. This is a great place for fish in the summer season. We had them very plenty. I used often to wish you had share of them. I want to see Margaret and Frances.
