We have this day finished the second Levil of the Garden. I think it Looks beatiful (I believe Sir I told you I thaught we could Get the Garden done By Last December. I dont think we shall be able to Get it done by that time as the work is very heavy. I think we can Get the other Levil done by 15th or 20th January if we do not have a graite deal Bad weather to Keep us back. I believe Sir we had better endeavour to fatten the Graiter part of your spring beef as Provindur is Cheep I apprehend you will want at least four as Grass.

Beef Cannot be had untill about June. I have exchanged Castor for a very Good Plantation Horse and only 5 years old. I am affraid we shall be Oblige to winter Fitzpartner as he is yet Lame and I do not believe I could Get twenty dollers in money for him

I have paid him (but must Get the favour of you to send 12 dollers for William Layin for a Cow and Calf which I baught of him Last fall I was mistaken in the time when I thaught the money was due and he is applying for the money. I am Sir your Ob St.
