and I can indure much more than I supposed I should be able to,-- My time is wholy taken up with the business of the farm, I am out from morning till night, either at work or tending the shop.-- The shepherd I brought out left me last fall; I was without any a month, then was fortunate in obtaining a very good one. My lambs did not do well, owing I presume to the sheep having been driven so far and their coming so late in the spring - The flock now looks very well & I think will yield nearly a pound more wool per (illegible) than last year; and if my Lambs do well I shall make it quite profitable. I am now getting the farm in such condition that I can manage with much less expense and if I had no partner to pay part of the proceeds to should think myself well off. - we are located in a pleasant part of the country, with good neighbors within three (illegible) side of the Capital Springfield. We have a very good school for the children and they are improving - (Angula?) is quite a large girl 12 years old - she has advanced considerable in Grammar (command letters?) Arithmatic, History
