er,
as the first after breakfast, at musick, the rest
of the afternoon in needle work till candle light,
and from that time to bed time read or write.
Mondays my musick Master is here. Tuesday my
friend M^{rs} Chardon (about 3 miles distant) and
I are constantly engaged to each other, she at our
house one Tuesday I at hers the next, and this is
one of y^e happiest days I spend at Wappoo.
Thursday the whole day except what the necessary
affairs of the family take up, is spent in
writing, either on the business of the plantations
or on letters to my friends. Every other Friday,
if no company, we go a vizeting, so that I go
abroad once a week and no oftener.

Now you may form some judgment of what time I can

I have reckoned my expense and the profits to
arise from those figgs, but was I to tell you how
great an Estate I am to make this way, and how
'tis to be laid out, you would think me far gone
in romance. Y^r good Uncle I know has long thought
I have a fertile brain at scheming, I only confirm
him in his opinion; but I own I love the vegitable
world extreamly. I think it an innocent and useful
amusement, and pray tell him if he laughs much at
my projects, I never intend to have any hand in a
silver mine, and he will understand as well as
you, what I mean! Our best respects wait on him,
and Mrs. Pinckney.

If my eyes dont deceive me, you in y^r last talk
of coming very soon by wat
