I hope I shall keep up during harvest, but it is harder & warmer work than I have been used to - I have about 50 acres of wheat & oats & it looks pretty well. I am about selling 90 acres of my farm, in order that I may build me a house & barn of some kind I am afraid every storm that comes will drown us where we live, & I have stable or granary or any place to store a bushel of grain, so I will be compelled to build some. I like my farm well and am well pleased with farming & just here I expect to stay - if no bad luck, & make my fortune. Everything I have planted looks well
