My husband has not earned a dollar to my knowledge since you were here. I wish you would come here and take his farm he gets very little rent for it and the railroad is built within two miles of that large farm so you see with the labor you are expending on rocks you could make the soil give you a good living and the farm is yours then That is a safe return for work.
