I raised a fine lot of pumpkins in my garden, but they are rotting badly and in order to save some of them I have been cutting and drying, have my North front room well furnished at this time I can assure you.

        Almost every good locatin in this township is now taken up, on this side of the timber there is but one vacant ? between Norris and Patten, on the West Side the is not an acre along the timber that is vacant
        I have not seen Judge Meaker scince he returned. he has however sent me now that he wanted that 40, When I see him if he want it enough to fork over $500. for a deal he can have acre
        I think it would be well to have this east 40 entered? I think of preempting the 80 West of one covering the Lake and a small strip on the West side of it I expect I can preempt , if so it will give me a year to ? in. I am beginning to think that this 80 may be thought y some one valuable
         Should I enter I presume that I can get $50 back by letting the Branson place to the Water.
