There are four houses already up, but none finished; and he hopes, when he has got more sawyers, which I suppose he will have in a short time, to finish two houses a week.

He has ploughed up some land; part of which he has sowed with wheat, which has come up, and looks promising.

He has two or three gardens, which he has sowed with divers sorts of seed, and planted thyme, sage, pot-herbs, leeks, skellions, celery, liquorice, &c., and several trees.

He was palisading the town and inclosing some part of the common; which I suppose may be finished in about a fortnight's time.
