The weather is very cold but William Wingate Sewall is doing well. The lumber is ready and they are still working on the ranch house. Sewall is happy that he will be working with Joe and Bill Rowe. The deer have been “shy and cunning” but they have had successful hunts and currently have three deer hanging in the yard.
