My brother’s children & plantations strangely grown in two years.  On the downs the green wheat looked very chearful & pleasant.  Some wheat & turnips covered with charlock in full bloom.  This proves, it seems, but a poor trufle-year at Fyfield; so they fail some times in very wet years, as well as in very dry ones.
