The two men Coper and Linton design to digg up roots in grass Hedge grove and try one stack your way and if they can make wages (as they call it) will goe on to digg more, and if that way will not doe I desire to know how you design to have them grubbed up for Mr. Markahm is very desires to have it done so as to sow Corn this year., Have had two sale days of Lower Grove Have sold about 15 worth but I belive shall not sell it all this year but hope to sell some more next(?) sale day. Mr. Hopkins will not have your new farm as he calls it so you may dispose of it some other way as soon as you can. Mr. Parks will not sell his estate for less than 100 because someone offered him that last Monday. and he turned it down. Boyden will not sell at present.
