In confcquencc of the very cold weather wc have 

 had here, the grafs is but juft fpringing, which, as 

 the turnips are wholly eaten up, occafions much 

 diftrefs amongft the farmers, for want of fome green 

 vegetable food for their fheep and cattle i whereas, 

 by the afliftance of my turnip-rooted cabbages, (at 

 which I have now two hundred fheep, and feventy 

 neat beads, bcfides many that are given to horfes 

 and pigs) I have an abundance of the belt and mod 

 nutritive food that can be found them i and which 

 will continue in perfedion for a week or two longer, 

 or more, if they (hould be wanted. — From the 

 conveniency and benefit thus derived from them, I 

 cannot but ftrongly recommend their culture for the 

 fupport of almoft all live flock for the lafl three 

 weeks in April, or the firfl in May, where the grafs 

 ftioots late ; many years experience has made me 

 confident of the value of them. 



I am. Sir, 



Your obedi^t fervant,
