I received a letter from John Gabbott wanting the tax paid
on the Assessment of the farms to build
the school House of that ward which
amounts to $67.50 I here just answered
his Letter saying I would try to pay
one half of it in grains, and raise
the money for the other half, you
had better let him have wheat and barley
enough to pay one half of it, and
I will buy to raise the Money for
the rest. I got a long letter from Sorrenson and He wants several Months
rent laid out on the Valley House if
He keeps themait any longer and He
wants the rent toward to $100 in Sumer
and $75 in winter &c It is getting quite
warm here I am spending my time in the cityTemple but am not well

the injury I got in the Endowment
House on my lungs the last few
weeks before I left I shall never
get over in this life. I cannot
do but Little Lung work at
present, I would like to know
what the price of wheat is, I got
a letter from David yesterday his
wheat is all gone by the grasshoppers,
and most of the wheat in Cash
Valley is being eat up by the grasshoppers.
It is quite a question whethe they save
any wheat in that valley or not this
season I should be pleased to
hear from you on any of the family
