 I was glad to see you had fenced off the upper Intervale for Pasture. It would be a much better way to renovate more of it than to crop it with Oats, as you have some of it. No other land could bear so much of that as your intervale has. But I very much doubt whether any one who has so much so good land as you have can afford to spend time & money in clearing & breaking up that ? Knoll. You can hardly get a fair return for the outlay.

Sow? the brakes frequently; burn it over and perhaps sow white clover seed. On that kind of soil, grass will in the long run overcome almost everything, non brakes?.

  I wish you could see my little Corn Patch now. No frost here yet, and the Ears, after the stalks are topped, are almost as high as my head. It was so tall & heavy I could not handle it the whole length.
  Hattie De Witt, Mother, passed her Examination comportulley; and likes Mr. Holyoke very much.
                                             Sincerely, Isaac
