Describes his activities on the prairie, including killing snakes, mowing hay, picking berries, and other agricultural activities.

Comments on watermelons, tomatoes, potatoes, and corn crops and baking pies and cakes. Health of children and other locals, reports of cholera in Perrysburg. Briefly mentions the "Catholick matter," "I hope we may all live until we are endangered by that, that is unless we should dash into a lawless mob in some large city… possibly there may be an organization of men to effect the release of Osborn but that will be in the city and soldiers will have to put it down." "…wishing you all health and happiness, and plenty of work and lots of cash for it."
