to give Sullivan a day hauling Manure. Please excuse me for opening this letter of Mikes, I could
not help it I was so anxious to hear from ye, but I will keep it as safe as london, and no one will
ever know Well we are having a very fine March here, it looks a bit like spring and the ice is
getting pretty bad, and the fields are commencing to get bare. We had a lot of rain but no snow
