McFarland-Russel Letter, March 28, 1880 - Page 3

Could I duo any thing at all
then with out some capitol to
commence on. I expect to move
from this county if I ever git able.
I am too prone to buz land lease
at the present prices of land.
I expect to move two or three
hundred miles farther west some
where on the border counties
if I cant find some other way
of making a living besides rent-
ing land. Sis says she will write to
you in a few days. Give my res-
pects to all enquiring friends tell
Bob to write to me and you must
write oftener. You must excuse
this badly writen letter Kate --
Mabe I will duo better the next time
I write. Your brother with much
affection. William McFarlan
