Benjamin reports that both he and his brother Mark took jobs teaching school the previous winter. Mark is now gone to the "Alegany"; Benjamin plans to stay at Lima (east of Batavia) and make bricks for a house being built by a Mr. John Morgan. Again speaks of the region's superior access to markets, via the Genesee River, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence.
