Dear Sir:—Your latter of sometime back to hand, and in reply will say we expected you down the last excursion sure but were disappointed, but there was an exoursiop here of 42 people. They got here 09 the 5th when we expected you they thought this a fine place, lots of them bought $42,500 worth which would be an average of over $1,000 apiece. They had a fine banquet for them at the "Experimental Farm," They stayed until Monday. Now you ought to be here and see how nice everything looks. It rains here every week we have all we need, for the last two months I don't think it has gone over a week in that time without a good rain. We had one 011 Friday in the morning and one at noon Our crops are as fine as silk, our cotton on the place is beginning to bloom and Bert is so proud of his outlook for a crop of fine cotton that we think he dreams about what a fine bank account he will have this fall when his crop is off. I have fenced in about twelve acres of pasture east of our house for the mules, it is fine pasture too. You would be surprised to see the tine grass since so many rains. Almost every bit of the groaud is covered with green stuff.
