My dear Toby,

As I have written to all the other folks I thought I would drop you a line. Am awfully sorry that I could not get a final decesion these Sittings of the Court but I suppose it was too much to expect from the old Master. He has a good deal of authority & you have to humour these fellows if you want to get on as they can make things very unpleasant if you upset them. I have had one or two tussels with

in the way of new Barns & house or alterations to the present one. You will all have to have things very nice but dont give up work as thats a source of health & pleasure when you have not to worry about want of money. You will have to come over with Mrs Barrett & see the old Country. Perhaps you would like to settle here but I expect the land of one's birth holds one. Well there is nothing to worry about & it is only a matter of time. Glad the Tree is flourishing Hope Mrs Barrett the children & you are all well & that poor old {Name?} is better. Tell Tim to write to me & tell me how his stock is getting on

Kindest regards to all

Yours very sincerely

Walter. V. Parks
