Dr Br & Family,

	We read your letter the other day was glad to hear from you. It found 
us all in good health.  We have not heard from Geo. Lately his P. O. address is 
Centreville Umatilla Co Oregon.  We have just finished thrashing we had nearly 
700 bush of grain.  Morte & Thomst [?] Turney & Tom Jenkins  Old Mortons 
Sinclair thrashed for us.  Mort and family have been here about a month.  He 
has a very good team wagon &c but not much else.  They are very pleased with 
the Country.  I have been away from home nearly all summer working at my 
trade.  I am at present building a house about a half mile from home.  I have 
plenty of work engaged to keep busy until cold weather.  We are having lots of 
R.R. excitement at present. They have been surveying here all summer and will 
continue until cold weather 5 or 6 companies at it they say that the best route 
will take them close by me ranch. Pa is well satisfied with the country now, 
has taken a ranch of 80 acres joining me on the North he is raising lots of 
pumpkins spuds beans melons turnips &c.  I must close for the present when you 
write again direct your letter to Pa he thinks you are slighting him.

Yours &c
