Notes that the Methodists are building a church and hopes they will hold a dance before they put in the pews. Describes the apple tree and the flies that keep landing on his hands. He writes his views on smoking and drinking, noting in this letter [contra his earlier one] that he "never smoked a cigar or a pipe in my life and I never chew tobacco."
