capitol of the State, on the 9Th. 1t is
a city of 10000 inhabitants. 1t has
some very elegant brick buildings
and some very fine farming lands
around it; but think the finest lands
/ saw in the State were around
Friendville, Saline county, about for
ty miles west Of Lincoln. That Is the
best land have seen in the West; it Is
mostly rolling prairie, well watered
with pure and rapid streams running
through it. The water is the best /
ever saw. The crops are excellent
wheat averaging thirty-five bushels
to the acre, and think the corn will
average about seventy bushels. All
other crops are equally as good in
proportion. / think 1t is great deal
better farming country generally than
Indiana, and to a man that has but
little money 1 should say, "go west.
