rounded on each side with the most

the great plenty of deer's meat that

tremely fertile and produced them
with little labour 80 bushels of wheat,
90 bushels of corn pr. acre; they also
abounded in fax. When sick they
had learnt of the Indians how to
find in their woods the remedies they
wanted. One of the neighbors'
wives was IA weaver, and you must
know that it is a trade which few
women are strangers to. Ne
