Henry Hartwell Marable, near Freeman‘s Bridge, Sussex County. Writer was in earnest when he applied to Marable for 16 hogs and offered Marable 12/6 per[?]cent. Says it is a sufficient price for three weeks feeding. “You certainly intend to put a Joke on me by saying you propose to kill the hogs at home.”
