By the laws of the state I have a right to redeem the farm by paying the encumbrances before. the 10 June 1822, but this is not now in my power to do, nor do I have any expectation of redeeming it.

My eldest daughter is 37 yrs. old, is married and has 5 children. Her husband has left her and she now makes her home with me with their children: a girl about 8 yrs.. They are in no situation to assist me. My other children all reside away from me. I was born in Rutland in Massachusetts and I am now in my 64th yr.
