I would be glad to see you all shore I would Mr. Brock is living one mile and a quarter from us Augustus Brock and wife live in the same yard with us. Peter Patterson lives close to Mr. Brock thare is right smart of american people living round here but the most of our neighbors is germans but some of them can talk plain and apears to be friendly. Caleb has rented thirty acres of land and has planted fifteen of it in corn and the corn is up and looks very well And he has a patch of iresh potatoes planted that looks fine. they are half leg high and thay have a large patch of sweet potatoes planted they are jest coming up.
