who Rents it thought best. all that part _____
to Dr _____ and pasture. The Back Lot then
will be Rails enough. I think to fix the fences
& the one who Rents to do it at his expense.

be worth $26. I contemplate tilling it next
winter or spring. But in the sale should
_____ the use of the fallow to the one
