ABSTRACT
James Robertson wrote this letter from Still Water Village, Easton, Washington County, New York, to Patrick Kirkaldy in Scotland. He proudly describes his brewing operation, but especially his farm along the banks of the Hudson River. Details about his farming operations and hired labour make this letter especially important, as do his descriptions of his neighbours and his fishing and hunting experiences. He is surprised that some British immigrants choose Canada or Australia over the United States as their new home.
