Pering describes this image in his letter, in full: "...a tidy log building and will give you an idea of three-fourths of the country farmhouses in this state. Near it ought to be a small barn, or stable, and smokehouse which I could not get in. You will see a small specimen of fence most in use, at the sides and in front near the road. The chmney is of brick and always put up outside. When the house is built the logs are cut away the size of the fire-place and the chimney constructed." |
