Anne Cameron (Ral) to PCC (Fairn) 30 Jan [1849?] by Squire: "Will you please as soon as the ground is in order, have me a square of peas sownd. Tell Jim not to sow them in a lazy-bed and to sow only one row in a place, and sow that thick, tell him not to plant Irish potatoes too soon--he will find the peas masked by a paper in the top of the bag--" Gardner---
