I have written to Mr Hamer to distribute 20 bushels
of seed potatoes among those who have land cleared
and fit to receive them

My Dear Hamer

There are two or three Indians who have clearings on the Sabin Lake - will you distribute among such of them as you are certain will plant and not eat them 20 Bushels of Potatoes for seed, and I will pay the Bill, when I know the amount

Yours Truly
