Taking the air on horseback in fine weather, and your employment in your garden, will keep you healthy and cheerful, with God's blessing.

Be pleased with little things, such as the flourishing of a tree or a plant, or a bed of flowers, and fret not at disappointments.

Why may not the growth of your trees afford you as much pleasure as the flourishing of a colony does to His Majesty, who hath as many, God bless him!

I give you the same advice I follow myself, and am with great sincerity, dear brother, Your affectionate, humble servant, Peter Fontaine.
