her last week, while Allen left us altogether October 1st so you see the available force has been very small of late. However we will get caught up in two or three days - The wife of my next door neighbor and best friend here - (who by the way is my endorser when I have to borrow -) died today and is to be buried on Thursday - I should exceedingly like to be here on that day if consistent, but will yield my wishes to anything of really essential importance. Yours truly C.H. Ballard P.S. How are the Potatoes - Dont know as they will suit but I can't do better here - You can have more if you wish - C.H. Ballard Dec 25 1872
