Lynn, Mass
August 13, 1871
Dear Dr. Benjamin,
I wrote you the other day and sent you an order on Dawson
for Mr. Nass’ note to collect and pay off the harvest hands account. I hope you will look right to my interest and
advise Mr. Case and if he can’t stay I want you to look after matters. Have the crops secured, thrashed and the land
plowed deep again for another year.
Please write me at Nantucket Mass particulars of our farm
and how things are going. Sell the oxen
and old Kate if you can get a fair price and deposit in the State National Bank
of Minneapolis. There must be more hay secured
for this winter.
The shoe business is pretty lively now and this city is
growing rapidly. Wife Abbey & D____
have gone to Nantucket and we shall go there in a few days & join them for
a short visit & then head westward.
Do all you can to help Gov. Austin’s re-nomination & get
up a good Republican representative. How
goes on the church? Your letters are
ever welcome.
Tell Eli Stocking to send letters etc. to Nantucket Mass for
the present. Have been to three meetings
tonight and I very tired.
Truly yours,
Asa B. Hutchinson
