Mr. Aldwin

I reced yors: by Charles, think my self greatly obliged to
you for the care & Pains you take to serve the Hospl: in this unhappy
Affair. I greatly approve yor: not buying in Calves to suck at Present
for fear of the Infection, but hope we shall not be obliged long to keep so
many Folks at Board Wages, I should be glad of yor. Opinion whether
young Flower is fit to be intrusted in selling the Corn Etc I must own
I have some fear about it. When you receive the Money for the Cows
& Hogs, desire you would pay the Land Tax & Poors Rates as customary.
Charles tells me Mr: Morten is of Opinion to buy some Piggs to
eat the skin Milk Etc. a I think it is very right to do so if you approve
of it. I should be very glad to hear of a good Tent: in the mean time
greatly depend on yor: Judgement & Fidelity. I am Etc a
