Scope and Contents

The Irishman has not yet arrived. Harrington will send Luke immediately when he arrives, but wishes Odin would spare him a little longer. Father John Boullier, C..M. has done just as Harrington expected, that is, nothing at all. Boullier took John Hutchins one day to ride around the old Cape. James Hutchins was employed to gather the corn. John moved his family to the old house at the mill and both only helped 3 days to gather corn. Harrington, therefore, had only Luke, Dory? and Harry. The corn is about half gathered, no stable fixed for the horse, a large quantity of turnips in the field. Mr. Gibbony not paid for the cart; Mr. Sutten? and doctor's bill unpaid. He left no money; any information he wished to get he sought of Hutchins and the Negroes. The surveyor has surveyed the old Cape and forty-acre lot. Mrs. Able can sell no wood. She sold only a few cords and sent a note for $10 which is only payable at 15 per cent. Harrington begs Odin not to leave the business of the Cape depending on the good will of Boullier. Harrington met Mr. Doyle who said he received an order on Odin for $9 which has been transferred by Jones, the painter, to James Hutchins. Another order has been given to Mr. ZI?egler? on Odin for money. Harrington thought Odin had paid him off when his work was done at the Barrens. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. Folio
