I have a big farm and a very great deal to do since the war … There are 3 horses … 14 cows, a lot of calves & young cattle, and 80 ewes & 40 young sheep & some pigs & 25 hens & 5 ducks, & there were 13 turkeys … Jemima [Puddle-duck] & Rebeccah are white, Semolina is a comical little Indian runner. She made a very deep nest under a nut bush & sat on 11 eggs … But alas — Semolina never turned her eggs. The bottom eggs were always stony cold, only the top ones hatched. I called the two children Tapioca & Sago. We have eaten Sago. It was rather dreadful & the stuffing disagreed with my conscience … I have lots of rabbits, Belgians — Old Benjamin & Cottontail are pets, but I’m afraid we do have rabbit pies of the young ones.
