were gathered in - housed or stacked - a fortnight since. It is usual, in this neighbourhood, to give a harvest supper at the end of the grain harvest; & the harvest supper on my farm will take place on Thursday next.

We mean to begin in earnest to harvest potatoes as soon as the weather permits.

Some correspondence has passed between us & James & Reed & Mary Tyler about their education; & about them on the 27th of June this year, I wrote to Mr. Winsor "I know of no reason why they should not all become highly cultivated people".

We mean to go to Edinburgh on the 6th - Trox. to stay with my sister Mrs. Hill, & to see a Cat Show there on the 7th Trox.

yours truly William Lawson
