William has just fenced in three quarters of an
aere in front of my cottage, and we are going to put
in about twenty fruit trees, which I have just received
from the gardens at Kew, all alive. We have two or
three schools on foot, and a library, and a literary
and scientific institution ; several brick houses ia
epucse of erection, and a number of respectable
wooden ones« Upon the whole, for a colony, I think
we have a morcd population : it is pleasing on Sunday
to walk among the cottages, and to see the cleanly
appearance of the people and children. There is a
Sunday-school, consisting of seventy or eighty chil-
dren, got up entirely by the people themselves.
Divine Service has been performed every Sunday
but one since we landed. '^ * ^ is in good health,
and seems to take to the business of colonizing very
well,--^her husband is a treasure ! 1 hope to get theoi
out on a fifty acre farm before long.*'
