Scope and Contents

Luke is anxious to go to the Seminary, but he brought no clothing with him. Some of the cattle have left the swamp on account of the flies and the grey mare with colt cannot be found. He will let Luke go on to the Seminary and make inquiries about the animals. They stand in great need of Luke's assistance and have not been able to plant any new ground yet. Rains put them back, also the arrival of Father John Boullier, C.M. deprived him of John Hutchins, whom Boullier sent to look for his mare. Boullier also wanted old Harry and Harrington is left with only Dony. Harrington has not seen Thomas Maddock? Madduk and Elliott since they went to the Seminary. Harrington understands that they are at work for Zeno Layton. Mr. Rodney has not yet come. Father A.H. Gandolfo, C.M. Gondolfi has left Timon's letter at Mr. Sandford's Paul V. Sanford? with other papers. They were not able to haul the wood to the River because of the weak bridge. Harrington will try to plant next week. Timon is to send Luke as quickly as possible; he is a good hand, except that he wishes to work on Sunday. Harrington told him that Timon would not suffer any of the slaves to work on Sunday. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. folio
