''John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheap
er when there are SO many coming,
and I would not tell you to come if L
thought you could not do well, and if
you don't come in the spring you will
have to go away back, for you do not
want to think that there is no one liv-
ing out here but us. I saw nicer build
irgs out here than [ ever saw before,
and if the country was no good what
would they want them for? John, If
you sold everything you have and
come out here you would be worth
more than ever youwere before, and if
you can bring your team, you can get
anything you want on tick, and when
they do that with strangers they are
not afraid they can't make enough to
pay for it. ] saw as nice wheat as I
