I am geting along verry Slowly in my affairs but find
Considerable land in my Surveys taken, and I have got about $150 in notes
since I Came to Town and there are as much more to Collect and
on the Sanjacinto I am in hopes of geting some and then I shall
come home without surveying much only finishing some old work—
If you want more Corn get it of Yeamans and tell him I will pay
him the Cash when I return— If possible which I expect I can do
Forward the Crop, all you can, and take care the pigs— perhaps we
shall conclude to Start for N York via. Tampico as Marias letter
[suggests?] of that more when I come home, If Cayce got the oxen
all will be well, with Grassmeyer and other matters I can get along
with I hope Remember not to burn till a heavy rains falls on the
fallow and then a dry time with brisk south wind about 10 c. when
the sun is hot and plant immediately after— plant out more
potatoes, as soon as may be tell Griffith I want him to forward his
ploughing so as I can have the oxen when I come home O. take
care of the potatoes at G's and asort them, burying the good ones
again
