How does the [[rice]] culture progress these days? We think if you can get so people can hear what you say, ordinarily, we shall think it the greatest improvement yet. I should think your present to [[Snell]] was very nice and elaborate and will please them both, wonder if old Fred and his ma gave him anything, Winnie came over to the garden while Pa and I were over picking beans, and said that [[Ferrel]] had, out of spite, to Evylin Drake, reduced her pay $1000. So she would leave. It seems he had been into Boston and reported they had more help than they needed and [they they are driven to death all the whole time]. So was told to put them on half pay, so to economize. all  his helpers are down on him as well as the whole of the town, Winnie had heard that he had been reelected for another three years and asked who would be the one to appeal so to have him ousted. Well I will say good bye for this time and dont work too hard.
