My dear Mary Ann
The big white Duck has been very lame, but is got better. The Trees
are coming very fast in leaf in the garden. Mr Bibby has took he
hedge down and is beginning to build a wall. All the seeds are sown
in the Garden (the annuals) The Cherry & Goosbery Trees & Plumb Trees
and Currant Trees are coming n blossom. Mr Shepherds boys have
got five Rabbits. The Horse Chestnut Tree is took down because it
was dead. The Sycamore Tree is coming into leaf very fast,
It has been very fine weather lately. The mount is mended,
We had salad to Dinner two days. The Cherry Trees are very
full of blossom. The Pear Tree at the Garden Door is in flower.
The Garden is coming on very fast. The Pit is drying.
The Narcissusses are coming in flower Good bye I am yr Brother
