    Caroline Dearling on farm making in the 1830s:

    I must tell you, all the potatoes you sent us, we had two gallons and 1/2 grow. I am in hopes that we shall have a good many this year, they look well now... Now I will tell you of the wheat sown last fall, 9 acres, and all looking very prosperous... You say in your letter you come and be bailey for us, but I think you had better come and help do the hard work, for if the hard work was done, we could bailey for ourselves. We have 3 acres rye, 3 1/2 of oats, 2 of peas, 1 acre of spring wheat, 1 acre of potatoes. It was a backward spring, but every thinly grows fast. I have 34 chickens. I think the farmer will be [pressed] to find fault before harvest. John has been very busy for to do the spring work; now he has finished his chopping for this year; he has 7 acres chopped, but not any burnt off for it is very showery weather at present and very hot indeed.
