Back at the farm, hollies in green house had not done well--heat too low. Complains of lack of labor, factories pay better, etc. Will send small holly orders he has to Eliz., has an inquiry for trees for hedge--suggests Clark but asks Elizabeth about Osa. Complains of army (Fort Edwards) over running/destroying the land. He is closer to Edwards than Elizabeth is to Dix. Complains about confusion in drafting levels for his sons. Hasn't been able to see how hollies have wintered in the woods.Collection
