The letter also mentions that although much was lost in the fires, Stanger’s animals appear to be well and provides a few more updates about the selling of dairy cows. Reverend Giroux is also mentioned in the letter as he recently had bricks made for his new church but due to the damage from the fire, the bricks are worthless.
