It is raining very hard, but all at camp are in good health. Asks how the potato harvest went. Advises her not to sell any more hay after the last half ton, because "you may want it" later. If she does not want it, she can always sell the rest. If Betsey wants any hay, she should receive hers first. Reminds her not to spend too much money and "keep something to buy your wheat with." Is not sure when he will be paid again. If she runs out of money, she can always borrow some from Betsey. Asks her to put her trust in the Lord if times get tough.
