Observations on the Season of 1816. 129 



price of thirty-seven and forty-five cents, and excellent 

 turnips at thirty-two the bushel. 



Hay and oats are enormously dear. The price of milk 

 was raised from eight cents to ten, in the course of the 

 summer; and my milkman this morning gave notice, 

 that the price would be further raised to twelve cents and 

 a half. 



I write you these facts as they occur to me. If prac- 

 ticable, I will send you more. In the mean time I as- 

 sure you of my high and respectful consideration.
