There are a few little items I will mention while I think of them.  I think Austin had better rent to Mr. Miles, & if posible I would prefer 1/2 corn in the field & all the ground put in corn that can be.  Wheat & oats, Hungarian grass &c don't pay, an other item, I would like to have all the ground on the 2nd 40 (west of the old field) cleared up & put in corn, I would rather aply a portion of my wages to that than to paying debts, anxious as I am to cancel them, I know it will pay.  The farm must be put in condition to sell, There is some wood on it that at the present high prices will help pay for putting it in a state of cultivation, The farm looks too ragged in its present condition to bring what it is really worth.  There is a large walnut tree in the bottom that might be cut & taken to the sawmill & cut into boards & either sold or put up to dry, before I get home & can cut it, Pine lumber can be had, probably cheaper than it will be at present prices, I speak of these things now because I might forget them at the proper time, speak to Austin about them
