   Evening   C. & wife are all agog for selling part of Farm however there is no danger I guess of thier having a chance if he should have work it affect my interest probably he couldn't get more than 50.0 for 2/3 off of the west part my ?, dower, inheritance, Patrimony, & Maintenance would be about 250, that about as much as could be made of it any other way I suppose
  If E. is gone away you must see to Charles matter about Cow

[upper left] I feel but very little interest or concern in the matter

[right-hand side] Mr. J.E. Godfrey spoke to Charles to send him a lot of Butter such as Charles had when he was there before and he intended to send it before perhaps he wont want it now - moreover the Butter is not perhaps quite as nice looking made later in the season but you can tell Mr. Godfrey to look at it if you think best This whole concern is small potatoes I recon goodbye

[bottom of page] Mr Bunker has concluded not to go till Monday & so we send by mail do write soon.

[left-hand side] Charles has got 2 men here at work getting out shingle stuff but dont expect to get any avails from it till next spring. But, says he must have some flour - (we're all out) & wants you to get him a good Bonnet of flour & take the Butter (about 30 tbs which you must sell for 1/ or more it is worth that here in cash) to pay you and he will send down more as fast as they can to pay the rest and what they ow'd you before on account he has gone to bed & I've made a bungling story of it I dont know as you can tell what it is but be sure and burn this letter when you have found it all out.
