Dear brother

I have not time to write much of a letter but will scribble a few words to send by Mr  hatch, as Charles has about concluded not to to to Bangor till the things to send to Boston are ready. see writing on side, below  Several reasons have led him to this conclusion, it is very difficult for him to leave his work now, and then being no ferry boat he would be obliged to go round through Atkinson: he has already bought some wheat and intends to buy enough more if he can to last till he threshes. You had better sell the wool as soon as you can for about 50 per lib.: At Exeter the best wool is selling for 60 and ordinary quality for 50: if you find a market for it, take what money you need for immediate use and send the remainder home in a letter: send home as much as half the price of the wool, if possible, and Mother says she shall have some cloth for pantaloons and jacket for you in four or five weeks and you had better get along with your frock coat till then if you can.  Charles and I had a very pleasant time at Exeter: he was I  believe interested and pleased with the cows, calves, ploughing match & c. and I was gratified with the display of domestic manufactures, which were of very good quality though but few in number; I enjoyed my visit to Mr. Cuther's & Upham's very much. Aron & Naomi Hill went over - The address by Mr. Sanborn was good, he spoke of the implements of husbandry, of tillage, of ploughing, cropping and of stock, and he did well upon each of these topics. We were gone from Wednes. morning till Friday afternoon, C. did not like to leave his work so long but was glad he did. He has not got

on side: send to Boston honey and bees wax a little of each and perhaps potato but I guess not.
