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
