My dear Papa, I hope you will have good sport, and get plenty of birds for Jack and me. Tuesday was Alice Ward's birthday and we went in Mrs. Ward's carrage [sic] which was sent over fore our use. The cellar is nearly finest[sic] I think on Tuesday seven men worked, seven men the next day, and to-day six.
Mr's Drakes canary bird flew away to-day I don't know if she got it or not. The little chickens are going on very well I got three eggs for two days but yesterday I left the door__so I got none. Mrs. Ellice took his cattle into town and had them shod[sic].
              I remain
          Your affectionate son
