My dear husband

Just now the yacht arrived and have received your letters and will send your box with the first yacht we can get hold of and find that you have had a lot of trouble hope that it will be finished now the yacht now has to go first to fetch the milled wood from Net and the boards by that time the flour will be ready and will send the Japick that he now rides out we now have our wheat already at the mill and our milled wood has now been laid in but how it all will end I do not know our cock is dead his stomach has been eaten by the worms they have cut him up tomorrow we shall unload and will send the yacht and will take in some xxxx wheat at uncle Staet’s and others because we can not yet get any from Tachkanick we can not yet dig because the middle fence has not yet been done we need London blue and black .... (chaloen) and Dutch small signs?) a dozen and then don’t buy anymore
your loving wife

Mr Salsberrie has been here and Varster is in Katskil and wants to give him 5 gu 5 nickels thus
I have had to promise him that for we otherwise have too little wheat and said that you had not bought it but said it was too much
