Dear Brother I recd your letter dated May 27th in due season. The mistake I made in my last letter came into my mind soon after it had gone, but circumstances being as they were, I thought it would not be necessary to write on that account. Have not heard anything from the flour. All the money that is due for flour now is for the barrel that Hamlin had. Gould said he rec no pay at Browns for hauling praties, so I paid him $0.25. I finished sowing yesterday. It has been very wet here this spring, many folks have hardly begun to sow. Our corn has been up about one week, potatoes are beginning to come up. We have got 7 little pigs, 12 lambs. George Knowls worked here 16 half days which about paid that note. M. E. M. makes it her home here at present PS Mr Swallow at Hampden or Bangor now.
