Dear Mr.Allen:
Your letter to hand,and was very glad to hear from you

once Now ir. Allen as to the 40 acres, You spoke of having

it cleaned up and fencing put around it. So that is what it us
needs above every thing else.

But after you go to the expense of having that done,and
put a buildings on it look where it will run to. You cannot

get building materal now hardly, and it will cost you some

where trom $1000.00 to $1500.00 to do all that. and then you
could now sell it tor over $1800.00. There is no water on it
only through the winter season ar when it is a wet season.

Oo :
iow i think your best shot is to sell it to some one
adjoining it and there would be no buildings to build.

But if you can get your brother to come and take charge
ot 1t,1 think that would be the thing to do, As you cannot
get help here now, as our young men are all gone or going to
the war. So now this is as near as I can give you the lay of
.every thing. but atter considering the matter and you want
the $500.00 I believe I can sell it for you, So thanking you
‘for your letter. and if I can be of futher help to you call

on me. os
Sinserly Yours.
