I have received your letter of May 15 I am very sad that the bills have not been paid and that I hear that the governor does not give you any other bills to satisfy the merchants in England and that you can not send any money up to buy wheat I have great difficulties here to go and mill at Barent’s the canoes have been gone for four days this is the fifth day and still not here Kas has been here and said that he has orders from Clarke and from Smit to not bake any kernel thus they will have to wait till the flour comes for the canoes can not keep us going if we do not bake the kernel and do not even bother about it for you see how the world is it is great trouble to fetch it with canoes and we will not have enough if you do not get from the Esopus Sopes our mill will mill on Saturday could not do it before they complain about their agreement with this be commended to the Lord brother Philip’s wife has been buried the 15th I could not go up Herrie Renselaer is at Klaverack and has summoned Kollens 182. there what he will do in this affair I am glad that you have written to your son Johannes and to Mrs. Veets I long to have you home for the time saddens me very much In the manner of Livinghston Your sad wife Alida Livinghston
