has ben replaced by a new one oppos-

old bake oven is now used for a
pantry, and the large rough stone

in the garret, which has no embelis-

The hill to the South east is still
well coverd with timber. I followd
along the banks of the creek where
you used to catch the specled
beauties, but did not attempt to fish
