I expect John Hatheway will be
up to see you to make a bargain for his
Labour as I have ever refered him to you -
he has ever told me that he thought he should
have $14 - pr mo but as I have agreed to give
Julius Leyden $18 - to work in the country shop
for 3 months of the best part of the season John
thinks he should have as much & I would wish
to employ John but would like that you should
make the bargain your & c
