Father presen -ted me with a nice little willow coack for Amie and her and I is much out of doors which is good for both. it will be a great benefit to me this summer Jim is up at the nursery every day just now I suppose you know that father has hired John for another year, so twill be a good while before we leave the old home David Galloway was over since you wrote and I gave him your letter for [Sarah?] to read. There [illegible] is a new Minister come instead of Jones.
