l.. Gross: "The western part Of the
state is truly a wonderful country, and
we'll worth a mans time and trouble to

Harrison Butler: while rain would
benefit potatoes, fax, and some minor

grain and straw. and causing the grain
to lodge badly.

not return for some lime. / am in hopes
we may get u flow. butthink it decidedly
