of it but the time was to short they made no other writings let it all lay as at present till Autumn. The Corn came up finally & then the hens pull'd it up some of it 2 or 3 times ever. It is now growing very nicely looks well and C has not been sorry at all that he planted it. The posy garden looks beautifully even now - the Flax Centerberry Bells Monkshood & Sweet William of ever here are splendid, & you can't think how my prickly pear flourishes since you fix'd it so nice - there are 30 or 40 large new leaves and about 60 buds! it will be all in full bloom by the time you come home

I dont know what you'll do for money. I have been trying & trying to get C. to tell what he is going to do about it but he says as he always does- he dont know- I have bang'd him - he says he means to pay as soon as he can will drive his best cow and line back to Bangor if it is best, but thinks he cannot get at this time of year near thier value. How would it do for you to hire the money  for 3.6 or 12 months and he pay it. I would give him a little more time what interest Should you have to give - he says his credit is not so good and he should have to give 25 per cent.
  I would have sent this sooner but I wanted to find out something more definite about money. But what are you going to do when you get thro? I want dreadfully that you should come right home and stay 2 or 3 months if it could be best for you but I suppose you need to be doing something or trying to do something to set yourself agoing in the world. I long to have you get into something or other where you must steadily & faithfully and constantly apply yourself for I am really afraid that your desultory habits of reading, Study and every thing else is going to be the ruin of your Character if you dont take care

If you do not succeed in getting any business (on Heart? road or anywhere) Shall you not conclude that it is your Duty to give up Self Seeking and Study Theology - there seems to be no doubt that you might be if you really try a useful minister by the time you are 30 years old.
