Joseph Lee Sargeant does not go to school here but goes to school over in Milton and lives at Mr. Hoxies you say that you are glad I declaine but I do not much I have spoke 1 piece on the use of tobacco. the school lasts 1 week after this it keeps about 9 in the whole it of the fox chase which I made was up on the intervale and the other was over east of the road I got a trap of Arnold Sargeant and set it but the fox would not come an so it after I sent the trap I suppose he smelt the trap or something we have for 2 bossys and (hiefers both of them) and 3 lambs.
