very fine order; and, amongst them, I 

 found some beautiful -featured ewes, which 

 he called rat-tailed sheep : but he did not 

 know from what stock they had descended. 

 When I afterwards returned to my friend, 

 Mr. Boadley, at Philadelphia, and told the 

 story to him, he informed me they were 

 from Holland. 



I believe Mr. Morgan was somewhat 

 disconcerted in his future plans, respecting 

 sheep and cattle ; and, probably, at the 

 moment was not so happy with his new 

 acquaintance as if I had commended every 

 thing he had. He then shewed me his 

 cattle ; and, among the rest, a very fat 

 bullock, as he thought. The animal waa 

 cleaned like a horse, fed in the same man- 

 ner, and tied up in a stall. I recommended 

 to him to go to see Mr. O'Donnel's cattle, 

 which he had imported from Dishley; and 

 told him he would be convinced when he 

 saw those cows, which w^ere much fatter 

 than his bull, although they gave milk, 

 and had not such care taken of them.
