Four hundred dollars so far. No return as yet. In addi- 

 tion to this we must enter our support for that time, but we 

 will leave this till we come to the final summing up of our 

 affairs in October. My husband's labor should also be ad- 

 ded to the cost of our farm ; but that, too, we will defer for 

 the present. Whether we shall receive enough from the 

 place to pay him for his toil remains to be seen ; however, the 

 prospect is cheerful.
