Since my Return to America I have been looking out and enquiring for such a farm as you describe, and to be had on the Conditions you mention. Here are often Farms to be sold, and Farms to be let, advertis’d in the Newspapers. Those to be sold may sometimes be bought with the Stock upon them; but those to be let must be stock’d generally by the Person that rents them: and Stock is only to be purchas’d with Ready Money. If however you and Mrs. Hare could like Gardening as well as Farming, there are continually to be hired in the Environs of this City, Lots of 10 or 12 Acres, with a House, a Piece of Meadow for two or three Cows, an Orchard and Garden, from which our Market may be supply’d with Milk, Fruits, Roots and other Vegetables, to as much Profit and with less Expence and Trouble than might be expected from a Farm. “A good Gardener brought with you might manage it for you, and with the Addition of your Income from England, there is no doubt but you might live here respectably and comfortably; and being not far from the Town, you would have Choice of Society. Should you come here while I am living, you will have every Assistance I can afford towards fixing you agreably, and I should be happy in having you near me: But you will consider well before you undertake such a Voyage, and remove your self so far from the dear Connections you have in Europe. May God direct you, is the Prayer of Your sincerely affectionate Friend
