I feel rather dissatisfied with that are Joe's letter; it is rather stingy, I really think: it does not hardly atone for his long silence, and most egregious defaultment. I expected to receive from him him and Eliab as much as 3 or 4 sheets full of all manner of accounts, respecting the business and affairs of the farm etc etc. instead of a miserable little half a sheet!!!! I believe Eliab was the best I should like to have seen your letter to E.L Barnes! I do hereby greatly congratulate you upon your new or rather old batteau to say nothing of the "slipt into the drink!' ha,! ha! hide yer boat in the bushes! Preserve ye one of yer partriblth eggs, until that I do come unto you Write me about the next etc: Write me all about the sheep shearing, the quantity of Wool etc. also all about the number, quantity, quality, magnitude, species and nature of your lands. I think the Iron Mill pasture is an excellent plan. There is no need of sticking up letter in thus and Heweys, now, as it is just about as near or nearer for any one to go by Mr Walkers and leave a packet as not only keep right down Centre Street instead of Exchange. First House above the Baptist meeting house, same side of the road, where the Lilacs and other double pink poseys do grow. The Peonys and Columbine are now bloomed in the front yard, also Adam and Eve, a large blue flower as you got up to Mr Crosbys, last fall Mr W. has lots of lilacs I don't know as there is more at any place in town. I propose transmitting, to you a bunch of them, if a convenient season I was greatly rejoiced at Eliabs letter it contain the most news of any, I believe. Fire away try it again, once a week. Mr. Walkers peas began to flower Sat. two blossoms good on your head, namely your raft, Dive away I should really like to help you swim this summ I have been into the water but once this summer that was Sat. upside of the Railroad, in the woods with James, while getting tadpoles, water 3 or 4 feet! Hurrah for the de spikes of the old boat. What about them are beans up river. Tell us how the fire prosper. Take care of my farm!
