To use his own expression: ~ am more
than pleased with my purchase. Your
circular letter describing the land does
not overdraw the mark. You have GER
tainly been very conservative in setting
forth it's advantages. The SOIL a grav-
ELY loan, Judging by the surrounding
farms, gives promise of yielding large
| crops, if properly cultivated. The straw

The fruit trees looked strong and
healthy. The fields of red or scarlet
clover that dot the country along the
South Jersey Railroad is something new
to me, making beautiful contrast to
the adjoining fields of growing wheat,
whose heads are bowed down with
the weight of golden grain, or coquetting
with his new neighbor in scarlet garb
/ wilLagain say am well pleased with
the land. The soil is first-class, adapted
for all kinds of farm products. The
The water is the finest ever drank, the
climate is all that one could desire. The
markets are easy of access, cOmmunica
ton both by railroad and waters to neal
by sea side resorts, affording a profitable
market for everything that can be raised
from the soil.
