    Share Share Post
    The people about here are breaking in acres and half and putting down potatoes in them. They get five pounds for breaking in an acre and two pounds then shillings for a half acre. The people about here are not allowed to put down a class of potatoes called Epicures. They will be find if the guards come on that class of potatoes down at them. It is three and six pence a peck that we get for the potatoes
