Genl [John Hartwell Cocke]
Dear Sir
Mr Joseph Seay (son of
George Seay) is very anxious to hire a Cook
Woman, & wishes to know if you would
hire Virgn if you are disposed to hire
her, he is willing to pay what such are
hiring for, & would be greatly accommodated
In my note by Berthier, I forgot to say
anything about our Hogpen manure, I hauled
one hundred & six large Ox cart & waggon
Loads, & there is still several loads; It has been
well scattered & I think will greatly benefit that
part of the field. Our Old Bull is very troublesome
I am always in fear that he will Kill some of the
Oxen, if you have no objection I will cut
him & put him to work.
We have had a very heavy fall of rain
this afternoon with thunder & Lightning
Our little Boy I am happy to say is better & I now
hope will get well, please let me hear
from you by return mail
I remain, yours respectfully
Ro. B. Hughy
