girls are proud of their Brother, Tell them to watch
him and take care of him now, and after awhile
he will take care of them

We are having very warm weather now I do not
have a chance to enjoy my self atall
We have no fruit this year but apples and they
are too sour, I know you fancy your Jersey
cow. But I have one cow that gives with a young
calf a gallon out of Two Teats If we took the
calf from her she would give Two gallons
you see she gave a gallon every morning
and at night a half gallon.

Well every body is surpassing me in every thing
I failed on the chickens this year,
But I tried hard enough to raise them. I have
ever so much work to do now all the house work
cooking milking washing and scouring
and for six weeks or more all the wood to
get. Mr Smith has been unwell for some time
he had three carbunkles on his wrist, then a
bone fellon it has not got well yet. Then in the
time between the Carbunkles and fellon
a cow run over him knocked him down
and turned a summersault and his weight
and her all on his write sprained it
badly. now he has just broken his chills &
