Went to Scheffer's farm.

I found him at home, conversed with him, and walked with him over all his cultivated ground.

He had 140 acres granted to him, fourteen of which are in cultivation, twelve in maize, one in wheat and one in vines and tobacco.

He has besides twenty-three acres on which the trees are cut down but not burnt off the land.

He resigned his appointment and began his farm last May, and had at first five convicts to assist him; he has now four.
